Since January, when we found out that Japanese mag Famitsu had rated Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny 33/40, we've been starved of news about the upcoming turn-based tactical RPG. Thanks to the New Game Plus Expo, an online showcase that took place earlier today, we now finally have a release date: the 29th of June, 2021.
The above trailer has Nippon Ichi Software President Sohei Niikawa (dressed as a Prinny) detailing the game's success in both Japan and the west - and that he's taking fans' opinions into account for Disgaea 7 already.
For Disgaea's biggest fans, there's even a special, "Unrelenting Edition" release of the game, which comes with the digital soundtrack, art book, and a physical copy of the game on Switch. The slightly fancier "Limited Edition" release comes with a bigger art book, a physical soundtrack, a pin set, a cloth poster, a steelbook case and a collector's box, as well as the game.
The Unrelenting Edition costs $59.99 plus shipping, and the Limited Edition costs $99.99 plus shipping. Both can be pre-ordered from the links on the Disgaea website. The digital game can be found (and added to your Wishlist) on the Nintendo eShop.
Will you be pre-ordering the game or the special versions? Let us know in the comments below.

Sold.
And sold again.
Day 1 buy for me
Day one buy for sure.
My 1st disgaea since number 3 back on the ps3, definitely day one
I was just about to buy Disgaea5 yesterday as it is on discount, but I´m still not sure about it. I love strategy rpgs such as Fire Emblem or FF tactics but have never played this series. Reviews on it aren´t that great, so I will give it a thought before the sale ends...
I kinda enjoyed the demo of entry 5 more than I thought I would.
What is considered to be the best Disgaea game out there?
I am very interested but I might wait for a sale.
@Controller-Drift
There is a demo of Disgaea 5
@jamesthemagi Thanks! Don´t know how I missed it. Will try it this weekend for sure
To Hell with all Disgaea fans!!! (... that includes me. See you there!)
awesome, d o o d
Pre-ordered awhile ago, when the game and the special edition were announced. Good to know when to expect the credit card to process.
This year is going to have hype exclusives releasing every single month on Switch, isn't it?
So far we have BD2 for February, MHR for March, Pokemon Snap for April, Disgaea 6 for June, and NMH3 in August. And that's with a number of notable exclusives still with vague 2021 release dates.
THIS is why you want third-party support, lol. This is going to be an amazing year, and very little of that is attributable to Nintendo.

FE is far more exact (1 of the reasons why I hate the RNG during lv up) with formulas in regard of strength + weapon - defense = damage
Disgaea has no permadeath, gives you the chance to max out units.
They both have weapon mastery, but Disgaea has way deeper systems, such as throwing, environmental rules through the Geo Effects, item leveling, master-pupil relationship, etc... and Disgaea 5 has the most refined GamePlay systems.
The Story for Disgaea 5 is one of the weakest in the entire series (very generic), but it is still funny and silly. Themes involve demons are capable of love vs medieval times of FE.
Bizarre how announcements like this happen after the big direct which they're not included in. This and The Silver Case would have been good additions to speed up the pacing of the Direct in some places...
That DC girls game thing segment went for far too long for its own good.
Just found out Fubuki is in the dlc for this game. I was already pretty interested cause I like strategy RPGs but now I'm almost certainly gonna try it out!
@jamesthemagi Thanks for all the details,
Yeah it seems the story is silly but fun. So far my experience with the demo is that it has been too easy after 4 stages I think. Like, they can´t damage my main characters and I can one-hit destroy all enemies. I was not expecting FE maddening difficulty but this is strange, I think I chose easy or something? Stages are also very small compared to FE for now. I will finish the demo and decide whether it is a good choice or if I should go for the only route I´m missing in FE:3H, the blue lions for now
@Controller-Drift
No problem, I'm biased because I want you to get into the franchise
Disgaea 5 is infamous as the "tutorial" game
In other words, the main story is to get you acclimated with the vast amount of systems the series has amassed throughout its history.
The post game, is the "real" game.
The main story boss is lv 120 ish if I remember correctly and it can be beat at 50 hrs
The most powerful superboss will require you to transmigrate a couple of characters at lv 9999 a few times and over 200 hrs
Disgaea games are always an amazing value when it comes to hours played and price paid
Disgaea 1 has, arguably, the best story, but most archaic system (old school grinding)
If you want something closer to FE, and like Advance Wars, I recommend Wargroove
Triangle Project, currently in development, seems to be like Final Fantasy Tactics
