‘Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma’ is the latest game in the Zero Escape Series. It is not included in the collection possibly because it just came out last year. [Featured Image by Spike Chunsoft/Aksys Games]

Zero Escape: The Nonary Games will release just one year after the third game in the series, Zero Escape: Zero Time Dilemma, released Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita, and Microsoft Windows. It is possible the reasons why the game was not included in the collection this year are that the game is still fairly new and that it being a part of the collection would undercut sales.

It should be noted that Spike Chunsoft is well-known for making survival games with puzzle-solving concepts. The release of Zero Escape: The Nonary Games might be the beginning of something even bigger pertaining to their entire library of games. It is possible we might see a collection of the first two games in the main series of Danganronpa. If we are lucky, we might even get the spin-off title, Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. Until such are announced, they are nothing more than speculation.

According to a written article by Anime News Network, it reports that Zero Escape: The Nonary Games will specifically release on March 24, 2017 but only as a digital copy through the PlayStation Store and Steam. It will launch for the PC in Japan one day later. Finally, hardcopy versions of the game will be available for the Playstation 4 and Playstation Vita on Tuesday, April 13, 2017.
