This month, Too Kyo Games’ debut visual novel TRPG The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy marks its first anniversary. The occasion brings several exciting reveals, including an upcoming multi-ending stage play and an official manga adaptation from Square Enix’s Manga UP!, slated to begin serialization in the winter of 2026. Regarding DLC, though no official details have been shared thus far, recent remarks from game director Kazutaka Kodaka hint that fans can anticipate a substantial expansion for the already intricate game.
For context, back in June of last year, Kodaka stated that should the base game’s sales prove successful, he intended to enrich The Hundred Line’s narrative with fresh routes and conclusions via DLC, aiming for a scope that would “create an overwhelmingly huge labyrinth of scenarios.” Now, nearly a year on, Famitsu inquired about the likelihood of this becoming reality.
“It’s still in the conceptual stage,” he replies, “but I’m personally committed to pursuing it, and the rest of our development team at the company are also supportive.” According to Kodaka, his team is debating whether the DLC should focus solely on story additions or also enhance gameplay. However, one certainty exists: the director doesn’t believe releasing DLC would be impactful if it merely added another route. Instead, he aims to craft something detailed enough to warrant the title “The Hundred Line 3.” Given that The Hundred Line 1 and 2 are already considered expansive enough to officially be regarded as “two games in one,” this promises to be a monumental effort.
“If we don’t tackle it with that level of dedication, the impact will be weak, and it won’t feel like The Hundred Line,” Kodaka notes. He also brings up the possibility of collaborating with guest writers for some of the new routes. Ideally, Too Kyo Games plans to coincide a DLC announcement with another major media mix initiative, to capitalize on The Hundred Line’s momentum.
The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy is available for PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch. To celebrate the game’s 1st anniversary, the Steam version will be discounted by 40% until April 30th (Thu) 8:00 AM (PDT).
