There’s no denying that NIS’ (Nippon Ichi Software) bread and butter is theDisgaeaseries. It’s what they’re known for best, and in 2003 the firstDisgaeashot them to super-stardom level among the SRPG crowd far beyond what they had already experienced with projects like the lovelyRhapsody: A Musical Adventure.
Five numberedDisgaeagames might not seem like a lot, but the franchise has spawned countless spinoffs spanning multiple genres on top of other hardline SRPGs likeDisgaea D2— the full sequel toDisgaeaa whole decade after its release. If you haven’t been keeping track, NIS is currently onDisgaea 6, following the release of5back in 2015. Given that the series usually sees a release every two to three years at a maximum, we’re due for another. Here’s the thing though — there’s nothing on the horizon just yet.
Speaking to Dengeki PlayStation, NIS president Sohei Niikawa has confirmed thatDisgaea 6does exist, will “definitely release” at some point, and it could even dip into a genre other than its traditional strategy-centric predecessors; but we have no further information beyond that. Until then we’ll have to settle for re-releases likeDisgaea 5 Complete,which was just pushed back to the fall.
