Disgaea 6, Ys 9: Monstrum Nox Contribute to Nippon Ichi Software’s Profit Growth in Fiscal Year 2022

Nippon Ichi Software has revealed its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2022 (via Gamebiz.jp). It reported net sales of 5,716 million yen ($44,739,960) which is up 7.8 percent year-on-year. Final profit was 1,273 million yen ($9,960,096) which is up by 40.7 percent year-on-year. Overall, sales and profits reached record highs.

This is mainly due to strong sales of Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny, which launched last year for the Nintendo Switch in North America and Europe. Repeat sales for past titles in the series also helped. Nihon Falcom titles, which NIS America published, did well with Ys 9: Monstrum Nox contributing to its profit growth.

The company is currently forecasting net sales of 6,378 million yen ($49,883,466) for fiscal year 2023, which closes on March 31st, 2023. However, it’s projecting final profit to be down by 26.5 percent year-on-year at 935 million yen ($7,312,800). It currently has Disgaea 6: Complete coming to PS4, PS5 and PC in June while The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero launches in September for the West on PS4, Nintendo Switch and PC.
