A new Death Note game is coming! Rated for PS5 and PS4 in Taiwan, Death Note: Killer Within hints at a wider release.

Bandai Namco: The Likely Publisher

The Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee's listing suggests Bandai Namco, known for its anime game adaptations (Dragon Ball, Naruto), will publish Death Note: Killer Within. While official details are scarce, the rating strongly suggests an imminent announcement.

This follows June's trademark registrations by Shueisha (Death Note's publisher) in Europe, Japan, and the US. Interestingly, the Taiwanese rating initially listed the title as "Death Note: Shadow Mission," but English searches confirmed "Death Note: Killer Within." The listing may have since been removed.

A Look Back at Death Note Games

Plot details are shrouded in secrecy, but fans anticipate a suspenseful experience mirroring the source material. Will it focus on Light and L, or introduce new characters and storylines?

Previous Death Note games (starting with 2007's Death Note: Kira Game for Nintendo DS) were primarily point-and-click, deduction-based titles, mostly released in Japan. Killer Within could be the franchise's first significant global release.
