posted on by Kyle Cardine
PS4 RPG to ship on March 26

PlayStation Japan began streaming the first promotional trailer on Thursday for its upcoming the PlayStation 4 game Makai Senki Disgaea 5, the newest installment in the Disgaea strategy RPG video game series. The trailer showcases the game's main characters and previews some new gameplay. The video features the game's main theme song, "Kill Real" by Mamoru Miyano.

The text at the beginning of the video describes the story:

An infinite number of netherworlds that exist in space.
Powerful overlords fought against each other to maintain a balance
However, Demon Overlord Voiddark's army, the Lost, came out on top.
Many netherworlds fell to that army...
However
Here there was a single young demon who challenged the throne
His name is Killia
Gathering to his cause are 5 overlords
They swore by one goal...
Revenge

The game will debut on March 26 in Japan. The limited edition package of the game will come with an "Usaria & Yellow Prinny" Niitengo mini figure, a hardcover art book, a 2-disc original soundtrack, and a box with original artwork to contain everything. Those who pre-order the game will receive a download code for an alternate bunny girl outfit for Seraphine. The limited edition pack of the game will retail for 10,200 yen (about US$102), the normal version will sell for 7,200 yen (US$72), and a downloadable copy will cost 6,171 yen (US$62).

A western release was confirmed in September, but no release date was announced.

The cast of characters includes:


Killia (voiced by Mamoru Miyano), a young demon man who swears revenge on the “Demon Emperor Voiddark” for some reason. A lone, muscular demon who hides power of Overlord levels. His quote on his profile reads, “...As if I could forget. Only revenge is supporting me.”

Seraphine (Sarah Emi Bridcutt), an Overlord girl who rules the “Gorgeous Netherworld,” a place that prides in its wealth over the two other Netherworlds. Even though she's an Overlord, she ran away from home and her Netherworld because she didn't like the idea of being forced into a strategical arranged marriage by her parents. The quote on her profile reads, “It is the fate of all men to dance in the palm of Seraphine, the Overlord of this Gorgeous Netherworld!”

Usaria (Satomi Akesaka), the heiress to the throne of the Bunny Bunny Netherworld where de,pms tjat don't like to fight gather. Her home country was destroyed by Voiddark's henchmen. She has a curse cast on her that makes her go berserk if she does not eat curry. Her character profile's quote reads, “I am one who is being chased by the Lost. If I Am Here!, you all will be put in danger as well.”

Red Magnus (voiced by Takehito Koyasu), the overlord of the Burning Netherworld, a place where crazy demons gather. He believes everything primal and powerful is everything, and is trying to defeat Voiddark to become the strongest overlord.

Christo (voiced by Junji Majima, who also voices the Prinnys), the overlord of the "Giant Netherworld." He is extremely skilled as a war strategist, and will do anything to win a battle.

Zeroken (voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara), a small overlord who fights against the Lost. He has a personality of being smug, but can also change his attitude depending on the opponent.

Three new classes are also being added to the game. The new classes include:


Maid



Fairy



Dark Knight

Nippon Ichi describes the story:

The strongest and most evil Overlord, Voiddark. Under his control, many Netherworlds have been overrun by his underlings and kept under his power. Voiddark controls a large army of Lost, beings that have strayed from the path of any morality. It is rumored that the number of soldiers in his army is ten billion.

It appeared that no one in the Netherworld had the power to stand up against Voiddark and his army... However, the Netherworld is vast. In order to take their revenge on Voiddark due to their personal grudges, multiple Overlords quietly take a stand.
