Bandai Namco has added new roles to DEATH NOTE Killer Within, known as X Kira and N. The roles are available now alongside a brand new update.
The update adds a new “3D” Mode, which allows you to freely move the camera and look around your surroundings. You will be able to experience the familiar gameplay of Killer Within, such as performing tasks and passing judgments from a new perspective.
Bandai Namco describes the new roles as follows:
The new “X-Kira” role can be set to replace the previous Kira. X-Kira can perform similar actions as Kira, but is always alone to start the game, with no followers. However, X-Kira can secretly make 1 Investigator into a Kira Follower during meeting phases.
Only NPA chief and investigators are eligible to be assigned as Kira followers. Half of the players, including L, Watari, and Mello, cannot be made into Kira Followers when selected. You cannot re-select players who could not become Kira Followers when selected previously.
Similarly, “N” is a role that you can utilize in place of L. N uses unique Command Cards that differ from L, and while N can’t use Investigator Evidence or a Speaker, they can use the “SPK Tracker” and “Money Chaos” Command Cards.
While activated, the “SPK Tracker” notifies all players about the activities of another player during the next Meeting Phase. When paired with NPC testimony, it’s a useful way to determine if a player is on Team Kira. These effects continue until the end of the Action Phase that day, but it’s possible to use other Command Cards during that period.

Lastly, DEATH NOTE Killer Within is available now on PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam.
