Fans will be getting another trailer from Spike Chunsoft for the upcoming "New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Murder," introducing new characters in the roster.

The new trailer shows the second set of the colorful and diverse characters of the latest "Danganronpa" title in the series, as reported from Dualshockers. This time we're seeing new set as Ki-Bo the "Robot," Gonta Gokuhara the "Entomologist," Shuichi Saihara the "Detective," and Tsumugi Shirogani the "Cosplayer," as well as a new Monokuma yellow in color with tiger-stripes.

It's shown here below:

The previous trailer released earlier this month showed part of the game's cast, Kaede Akamatsu, Rantaro Amami, Miu Irum and Koichi Oma. Here's a little recap of who they are:

Just recently Gematsu was able to get the plot of "New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Murder" from the Weekly Famitsu:

"In this world, the government is implementing a special encouragement system called the 'Gifted System,' by which various privileges are granted, and there are students with 'Super High School Level' titles who have great promise for the future. Kaede Akamatsu, the 'Super High School Level Pianist,' is one of those students.

The students with Super High School Level talents were scattered about the country, and never gathered in one place, but one day, 16 Super High School Level students, including Kaede, were imprisoned in the 'Academy for Gifted Prisoners.'

The self-proclaimed headmaster of the Academy for Gifted Prisoners is a mysterious stuffed toy called 'Monokuma,' and the academy's administrators are its children, the 'Monokumas.' According to Monokuma, this school is a place where the extremely talented compete in a mutual killing game.

Monokuma informs the students of his insane rules: In the event that a murder occurs, a class trial will be held to debate 'Who is the Blackened?' In the event that the correct answer is achieved, only the Blacked will be punished. In the event that the wrong answer is the result, only the Blackened will survive and the remaining Spotless will be punished.

The academy is surrounded by a huge wall and is impossible to escape. In order to leave this place, as Monokuma said, mutual killing is the only answer-.

In order to stop the mutual killing, and in order to protect someone, the curtain lifts on a class trial where both 'lies' and 'truth' are prevalent."

Unfortunately, there still hasn't been any information yet about a possible western release, but so far, "New Danganronpa V3: Everyone's New Semester of Murder" will be released in Japan on Jan. 12, 2017 for PS4 and PS Vita.
