Bandai Namco has announced two new roles via DLC for DEATH NOTE Killer Within, with X Kira and N, from Team Kira and Team L respectively.
These two teams are opposing factions, and according to the publisher: “In the anime, X’s Kira is a key character chosen by Light Yagami to act as his proxy when the original Kira (Light) needs to avoid suspicion.”
Bandai Namco adds: “His role will be equally crucial in the game. He is a follower of Kira who can activate the “Fake Surveillance Task” command card. X’s Kira will then have to select a player to be surveilled by two others, and, if the surveillance is not interrupted, the New World Progress Level will increase tremendously. It will give an edge to Kira’s team, as players from L’s team will have to be even more careful and alert than before.”
Moving onto N (one of L’s successors who has to track down Kira in the anime), the details are as follows: “In the game, N will dispose of several abilities including “SPK Tracker”, which allows him to record all locations visited by a player and reveal it to everyone in the next meeting. Additionally, the Monay Chaos command card will prevent Kira’s team from stealing ID by obscuring vision in the area.”
That’s not all, as a new game mode is being added via this DLC called “3D mode”, which the publisher says adds “new places to hide and new strategies to implement.”
Finally, new downloadable content is available such as a set containing the premium avatar of L wearing a Swimsuit. With the Premium Customization Track Vol. 6, players can get a variety of customization parts and rewards as they gain levels, such a Hoodie for Misa Amane, a Tennis outfit for Light Yagami, 19 accessories, 2 name plates and 10 Cut ins.
DEATH NOTE Killer Within is out now for PC, PS4, and PlayStation 5.
