Fans of Death Note may soon get their hands on a new video game adaptation of the iconic manga. Titled Death Note: Killer Within, the game has been rated by the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4.

As reported by Gematsu, the game is expected to be published by Bandai Namco, the company known for adapting popular anime franchises like Dragon Ball and Naruto into video games. While not much is officially known, the rating reveals that Killer Within could be set for a formal announcement soon.

Death Note Games Overview

The Death Note franchise has inspired several games over the years, dating back to its first title, Death Note: Kira Game, released in '07 for the Nintendo DS. This point-and-click game allowed players to take on the role of either Kira or L, in a battle of wits to deduce the identity of their opponent. A sequel, Death Note: Successor to L, and a spin-off, L the ProLogue to Death Note: Spiraling Trap, followed in the span of a single year. These games also have similar deduction-based, point-and-click mechanics.

These titles catered mostly to a Japanese audience and had a limited release. If Killer Within materializes, this could mark the franchise’s first major global game release.
