Nippon Ichi has announced the next major Disgaea title for the PS3, to be entitled Disgaea D2 (“Dimension 2” – although it is “Disgaea 5” rather than yet another spin-off) and to feature the return of Laharl and company in a fully fledged continuation of the events of the original.
The announcement comes by way of Dengeki’s annual show, and is short on details – it is however confirmed that it will be for the PS3, and be released March 20th, 2013:
The game is billed as the “most ominous simulation RPG in history,” and the producer explains why the game received its “D2” title rather than “Disgaea 5”:
“The Disgaea series has been going 10 years now, and we thought we would return to where it all started with Laharl as the protagonist, and continue his story.
The D signifies us wanting to take it to the next dimension, [and also incorporates the D of Disgaea, destiny, and even drama.]”
With Laharl and company still enjoying considerable popularity 10 years on, a blockbuster hit for Nippon Ichi does not seem unlikely, and fan prayers have most certainly been answered.
T.T Disgaea on XBOX please.
hehe laharl got a hit again…. how come they didnt make a sequel on la pucelle? I like more the moves of priere than laharl…
I love N1 games. I just wish they could streamline character progression to level 9999 somewhat. The characters moves and skills should constantly evolve/upgrade/multiply, so that, at some point, it doesn’t feel like you’re mainly grinding for levels instead of true progession.
You kind of forget the original and Laharal’s mommy issues after so many other games.
But great to see them expand on the original. Might also open up the doors to some more sequels, could always use more Zetta and Gig.
laharl now wears the same pants as mid boss haha
