Disgaea series surpasses five million copies sold, franchise will continue

In a video message today, Nippon Ichi Software president Sohei Niikawa announced that the Disgaea series has surpassed a total five million copies sold. Additionally, there are plans to continue the series. The company hopes to consider feedback stemming from Disgaea 6 for the future.

Niikawa noted:

“We just released Disgaea 6, but I’m sure some of you are already wondering what’s next for the series. Of course, we’re planning to keep it going. Though I can’t really talk about when that may be or what it’s going to be like yet, we would like to take into account all of the feedback we’ve received about Disgea 6 from players in America, Europe, Japan, Asia, and everywhere else, so that we can make sure everyone will enjoy the next one even more.”

Have a look at the full message from Niikawa below. 

Various activities are planned relating to the Disgaea series milestone, and a new website has opened here. NIS America is planning a character poll, Twitter contest, Twitch stream, and more.

It’s safe to say that Disgaea has found a home on Switch. Disagea 5 was one of the system’s very first games. Disgaea 6 was also a Switch exclusive in North America and Europe. We liked the game quite a bit – read our review here.
