One of the many announcements that Sony made during their pre-TGS conference earlier this week to appeal to the Japanese market- seriously, the console has been selling like shit over in Japan, being routinely outsold not just by the country’s champion, the 3DS, but also the Wii U and the PS Vita- was Disgaea 5, the newest entry in the role playing game series by NIS.
Disgaea is, for reference, a strategy role playing game series that has mostly been exclusive to the PlayStation throughout the entirety of its existence, and that is not something that is changing with the new entry, which will also be PlayStation exclusive. However, unlike every other major PlayStation 4 announcement at Sony’s conference, which also had a version on PlayStation 3 and/or Vita, Disgaea 5 is coming only to PlayStation 4. So that’s a nice symbolic victory if nothing else, mostly because Disgaea is highly niche, even in Japan.
Disgaea 5 has no announced release date, but we’ll keep you posted.
