Durarara!! 3way Standoff Alley Slated this August

Kadokawa Games have announced a new name for their updated release date for their updated version of Durarara!! 3way Standoff. Now titled Durarara!! 3way Standoff Alley. This game is slated for an August 25 release.

Wondering what the “Alley” refers to? Kadokawa say it refers to “watching or observing from an alley.” They plan to release 3way Standoff Alley simultaneously at stores and on the PlayStation Network.

The game stars Yoshimune Miyoshi (the guy below Izaya and Shizuo),a freshman at the school Mikado, Kida and Anri attend. Nicknamed, Yoshi Yoshi, he is described as a good listener with the a bright personality. He is the character that you are playing in this game. In this game, you can interact with the characters that existed in the Durarara!! universe's interpretation of the Ikebukuro district in Tokyo.

The game comes in three versions: normal, for 5,040 yen; limited edition for 7,140 yen; and the download version for 3,990 yen. The limited edition version of the game comes with a drama CD, and a rubber strap collection in addition at Kotobukiya stores.

DuRaRaRa!!

DuRaRaRa!! is a light novel series written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Suzuhito Yasuda. The author of this series also wrote Baccano!. The show deals with a young man who moves to city and everything that happens to him there. There are a ton of characters so instead of trying to condense it anymore, I recommend you check out the Wikipedia page.

Like Baccano!, DuRaRaRa!! has an anime version which premiered pretty recently. Most of the art in this post comes from the anime. However, it should be noted that high-resolution fan art is easy to come by. It took me a little while to comb through what I have to find the official stuff.
