NIS America also recently announced that Danganronpa 1•2 Reload, which includes Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc and Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, will be heading to PlayStation 4 in early 2017.
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls was originally released on the PlayStation Vita back in 2015 and is a spin-off action adventure game that is connected to the main series games Trigger Happy Havoc and Goodbye Despair.

This is great people who haven’t experienced the series yet to get in before the release of New Danganronpa V3.
About the story:
Komaru Naegi is a normal girl, the kind you can find anywhere. She was taken from her family and imprisoned in an apartment during The Tragedy. Even after a year and a half, she has not managed to escape. Komaru has almost completely abandoned hope and has grown to accept her imprisoned life. But one morning, she was forced to learn an even deeper despair when someone suddenly broke down her front door. But it wasn’t a hero or a savior…It was a Monokuma.
After escaping from the merciless Monokuma, Komaru is surprised to see the outside world, a world she hasn’t seen in one and a half years. It has become a world of despair, where children controlling Monokumas ruthlessly hunt down adults. Her only hope of survival is the Hacking Gun, given to her by a mysterious stranger, and a girl by the name of Toko Fukawa.
