Death Note Killer Within: Fans of the Death Note franchise, mark your calendars for an exciting new game experience! On November 5, 2024, Death Note Killer Within launches as a PlayStation Plus Monthly Game, bringing intense social deduction gameplay inspired by the popular anime and manga series to PS5, PS4, and Steam. This 10-player online game blends strategy, deception, and classic Death Note characters, delivering a high-stakes battle of wits that’ll keep players on the edge of their seats.

Gameplay and Roles

In Death Note Killer Within, players are split into two main teams, each with distinct objectives: Team Kira and Kira Followers work to eliminate L, while Team L and Investigators aim to catch Kira and take control of the Death Note. Choose from four unique roles—Kira, Kira Follower, L, and Investigator—with each role equipped with special abilities and tactics to achieve team victory.

Gameplay Phases

Action Phase: Players gather clues, interact with NPCs, and carry out covert tasks, all while hiding their intentions.

Meeting Phase: The players come together to discuss suspicions and try to expose Kira, adding an extra layer of tension and strategy.

For example, Kira holds the powerful Death Note and can eliminate NPCs or players but must carefully avoid suspicion. Meanwhile, L has special tools to analyze player behaviors and gather crucial information. Kira’s allies, known as Kira Followers, can steal Investigator IDs and even pass the Death Note among themselves to throw off Team L. Investigators are key to catching Kira, but must avoid getting too close to suspicious players who might steal their identities.
