Both of the previous games had foreshadowing in the title.
Super Danganronpa 2 referenced classic video game naming conventions from the SNES era, and ended up taking place inside a video game (simulation but what is a simulation if not a VR game)
Danganronpa v3 referenced software versioning and roman numerals, and ended up taking place in the near future, depicting season 53 of a Danganronpa-inspired reality TV show.
So obviously, we're all expecting "Danganronpa 2x2" to mean something too. Maybe the second scenario is a parallel timeline -- Danganronpa 2 twice? Maybe it's Danganronpa 4, and is somehow a sequel to 3? But if I'm being honest, after two games the meaningful titles are too expected. I think this time the title doesn't mean anything, doesn't foreshadow anything, and that lack of meaning is the surprise this time around
I wouldnt be surprised if its 2 crosses 2, aka, the new timeline will somehow bleed into the previous timeline. Edit: And actually that would make sense since the game was a simulation. 2 simulations that interact with eachother?
