Another story out of the latest issue of Dengeki Playstation, the remake of the original PS2 Disgaea title, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is expected to release on PS4 and Nintendo Switch on July 26 in Japan. It will be known as Disgaea Refine.

The remake has yet to be greatly detailed beyond the title and platforms. However as it is a remake, we can likely expect the title to maintain the grid based tactical role playing gameplay of the original, with modern quality of life improvements to help bring the original PS2 title to modern standards, or at least put it in line with the last release.

The Nippon Ichi tactical classic originally launched in 2003 on the PS2, and received critical acclaim, though unfortunately not commercial success. Disgaea Refine will launch on July 26 in Japan with a 9,200 yen (roughly $85 USD) special edition package with the OST, calendar, and a special case.

Nippon Ichi Software has confirmed that a recent image on its New Year’s card, which showcases The Witch and The Hundred Knight along with Disgaea 4 along with portions of three new characters, is actually for a new, as of yet unannounced title.

NIS has already had quite a busy year. Along with development the aforementioned confirmed titles, 2013 saw the release of Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness, The Guided Fate Paradox and Battle Princess of Arcadias. The former two titles are already available in the West with Battle Princess only available in Japan. The Witch and The Hundred Knight has been confirmed for a Western release in March while Disgaea 4 remains a Japan-only release for now.

What are your thoughts on what the new game could be? Will you be picking up The Witch and The Hundred Knight when it releases for the PlayStation 3 on March 21st 2014 in Europe and March 25th 2014 in North America? Let us know your thoughts below.

Nippon Ichi, one of the more prolific publishing houses in Japan (they also gave us Prinny), is working on two additional games that are due to be released in Summer and Winter of 2014 respectively. Judging by the studio’s previous output, these games will probably be for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation Vita.

As DualShockers reports, Nippon’s President and Producer Souhei Niikawa, who loves to tease anyway, had this to say:

“I’m going to tackle various challenges as well in 2014. I, myself, have two titles I’m currently in charge of. I can’t talk about the details yet, but we are preparing them so that they can be released in the summer and in the winter. Please stay tuned.”

It could be anything from a new Prinny game to a new Disgaea, or it might be one of each, considering how we are looking at two new games here.

Stay tuned to GamingBolt for more coverage.

Previously, it had been assumed the game was set for Playstation Vita (since code within the teaser site’s image showed “Vita” tucked within). This week’s Famitsu dispelled all doubts, however.

The RPG in question is called Kamisama to Unmei Kakumei no Paradox (yes, it’s one of those names). Called Kamipara for short, it’s being developed by the same team behind Disgaea. This includes director Masahiro Yamamoto and character designer Noizi Ito.

Kamipara will have two editions upon release: a standard and limited edition. To top things off, it currently has a Japanese release date of December 20th.

All this is great news, for sure. But when will be getting the Disgaea sequel that Nippon Ichi promised to make “one day”? Might have to wait a bit longer for that.
