Сюжет

The story of Hope's Peak, the tale of it's despair and the hope that overcame it, drew to a close with the creation of a new Hope's Peak Academy. A story displaying a series of worldwide conflicts, both caused and resolved by Ultimate students, ended on an uplifting note...but could the world really return to normal that easily? As it turns out, so such luck. As society began to rebuild itself, talented young people were once again viewed as the hope of the future. To cultivate what remaining hope the world had to offer, the new Hope's Peak Academy, among other ultimate schools were established. However, not everybody was on board with the re-creation of these schools. Many people blamed ultimates for the tragedy occurring in the first place, and feared that history might one day repeat itself. To ease their tensions, the coalition of these prestigious schools devised a plan. A plan to positively influence the reputation of ultimate students in the media by broadcasting the daily lives of a few carefully selected students. They called it: The Hope Restoration Program. ...but this is Danganronpa isn't it? When sixteen students come together, it's unlikely that things will go according to plan. Especially when someone else has already found their way into the school.
