Danganronpa 2×2 Kyoki Mode Shown To Press At Tokyo Game Show
The hands-on confirms Kyoki mode is a second route through the same Jabberwock Island cast rather than a side scenario, and that the new character Sakutaro Higashi is absent from the sections shown, leaving his role in the class trial unanswered.

A media conference for Super Danganronpa 2x2 was held behind the scenes at Tokyo Game Show, which ran from September 17. The new information segment lasted about five minutes. Attendees played roughly 10 minutes of the Kyoki mode, starting after Monokuma appears at Jabberwock Park. In Kyoki mode the victim and culprit differ from the original, and Monokuma distributes weapons called Kyoki.
The playable slice covered the opening of Kyoki mode, from Monokuma's appearance at Jabberwock Park through exploration of the protagonist's cottage and the path to the restaurant. Monokuma states he has distributed weapons called Kyoki to each student, and an unfamiliar object sits in the cottage. The victim and culprit change from the original, along with the tricks. Staff also added animations where characters move in time with their lines. Sakutaro Higashi, voiced by Natsuki Hanae, does not appear in the demo.
