NU: Carnival and Nitro Chiral’s DRAMAtical Murder have announced a crossover collaboration, unveiling a newly drawn key visual to mark the occasion. The collab event is planned to arrive within 2026, with a special site opening soon.
The key visual is a joint effort between both development teams, bringing the two games’ protagonists together on a neon-lit stairway. It features DRAMAtical Murder‘s Aoba and Ren, drawn by NU: Carnival‘s team, alongside NU: Carnival‘s Eiden, illustrated by Uiro Yamada, the original artist behind DRAMAtical Murder.
NU: Carnival is a free-to-play BL gacha game developed by Taiwanese studio Infinity Alpha with SGArts, known for its lavish, fully animated art and its lead Eiden, a sex-toy designer summoned from his world to the Klein Continent, where he restores balance by forming intimate bonds with a cast of clansmen. DRAMAtical Murder is Nitro Chiral’s landmark 2012 BL visual novel, set in the near-future island of Midorijima and following Aoba, a young man pulled into a dangerous underground world of gangs and a mind-invading game called Rhyme.
Further details, including the event’s contents and start date, are set to follow when the special site opens. The NU: Carnival × DRAMAtical Murder collab is planned for release within 2026.
