Plot
Taking place half a year after the events of the first game, and before the beginning of the second game, the story focuses on Komaru Naegi, the younger sister of the first game's protagonist, Makoto Naegi. Following The Tragedy that took place one and a half years ago, Komaru has been holed up in her apartment in Towa City after the nefarious Monokuma took over the city and infested it with his robot army and loyal followers. Forced to flee into the outside world when a Monokuma robot attacks her apartment, Komaru comes across a certain someone who entrusts her with a “Megaphone hacking gun” which allows her to battle againts the robots. Teaming up with Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jill, one of the surviving students of Hope's Peak Academy alongside Makoto, Komaru soon comes up againts the Monokuma Kids, a group of RPG-fanatic children who murder adults in the name of Monokuma.

Background
The game seems to be a third person shooter. The teaser trailer shows us a female protagonist who fights a legion of Monokumas using a megaphone that 'shoots' words. Also, Toko Fukawa/Genocide Jill will act together with Komaru, joining her as a playable character.

In a recent Famitsu scan, the protagonist has been revealed to be Makoto Naegi's younger sister, named Komaru Naegi.

In a more recent Famitsu scan, it is revealed that there will be a new character in the game, a young athletic boy. It is also known that the script for the game is essentially complete.

In  Towa City, a group of five children known as the “ Warriors of Hope ” exist. They act as the leaders of the  Monokuma Kids,  a group of  Monokuma mask-wearing children who slaughter adults. Like an RPG, each leader has their own “job.”
