The game was revealed in 2018, where the project was initially titled "Limit X Despair". Two promotional artworks were released back when the game was still under that title before it got reworked into The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. https://x.com/TooKyoGames/status/1079757093152841729https://www.famitsu.com/article/202406/8386#:~:text=%E9%96%8B%E7%99%BA%E6%9C%9F%E9%96%93%E3%81%AF6%E5%B9%B4%E4%BB%A5%E4%B8%8A%EF%BC%81%E3%80%80%E7%B4%86%E4%BD%99%E6%9B%B2%E6%8A%98%E3%82%92%E7%B5%8C%E3%81%A6%E9%96%8B%E7%99%BA%E3%81%95%E3%82%8C%E3%81%9F%E5%B0%8F%E9%AB%98%E6%B0%8F%EF%BC%86%E6%89%93%E8%B6%8A%E6%B0%8F%E3%81%AE%E5%88%9D%E5%85%B1%E5%90%8C%E4%BD%9C%E5%93%81
The project was initially going to be published by another company in 2017https://medium.com/@ubattler/interview-with-kazutaka-kodaka-and-kotaro-uchikoshi-on-their-new-joint-work-hundred-line-final-b7567beb8cfb, but the plan failed to happen, and the studio took out a loan. This lead to them going into debt to fund development on the The Hundred Line. Soon after, they went to look for another publisher for the game and met Aniplex. After their partnership, development of the game became much more smoother afterwards. https://www.gamesradar.com/games/strategy/danganronpa-creator-went-into-debt-for-the-hundred-line-last-defense-academy-after-the-strategy-rpg-was-canceled-at-its-original-publisher/ On June 18th, 2024, Nintendo Direct reveals the trailer of the game and it is scheduled to release on the Nintendo Switch and Steam in Early 2025.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybTx8StTllQ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3014080/The_Hundred_Line_Last_Defense_Academy/
