has remained a cultural phenomenon since the manga concluded in 2006, continuing to captivate audiences with its psychological thriller elements, morally complex characters, and intellectual cat-and-mouse chase between Light Yagami and L. Given its lasting popularity, fans have been eager for a new video game—one that could fully explore the franchise’s untapped potential.
The recent leak from Gematsu and confirmation from the Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee has sparked a renewed sense of excitement.
While official details are still scarce, the rating for suggests the game will stick to the franchise's signature dark themes, including violent acts and anti-society messages. As a yet unannounced project, its gameplay mechanics and genre remain speculative, but there are plenty of possibilities.
According to GameRant, some fans are hoping the game will resemble a Professor Layton-style puzzle-solving adventure, which would be a natural fit for the complex psychological battles that define the narrative.
Others, however, have expressed interest in a more Persona 5-like approach, where players would step into the shoes of a seemingly ordinary student by day and a vigilante killer by night.
