The online social deduction game, DEATH NOTE Killer Within, has introduced two new roles, Watari and the NPA Chief, to its platform. Previously, the game featured five roles: L and his investigators, Kira and his follower, and Mello. These new roles belong to L’s team, making the game even more challenging for Kira and his team to remain undetected.

Watari, L’s trusted handler and assistant, plays a significant role in the game. He and L are aware of each other’s identities from the start, and Watari can exchange critical information with L using a transceiver, giving him an edge and driving the investigation forward. Kira must be more careful and strategic, as the rest of the players will be notified if Watari dies, making it easier for them to figure out who Kira is.

The second role is the National Police Agency Chief, Soichiro Yagami, whose first and only goal is to fight for justice. The player has the ability to call for an emergency meeting and end the action phase at any time, but this can only be done once per game and cannot be used while a Kira Command Card is in effect.

New downloadable content is also available, including a set containing the premium avatar of Soichiro Yagami wearing pyjamas with a snot bubble and a nightcap. With the Premium Customisation Track Vol. 4, players can get a variety of customisation parts and rewards as they gain levels, such as both the Watari and Soichiro Yagami avatars, the “Japanese Police Set” pets, nameplates, voiced cut-ins, and different accessories.

DEATH NOTE Killer Within offers an exciting and challenging social deduction game that continues to evolve with new roles and customisation options.
