3rd Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness U.S. Trailer Streamed

NIS America started streaming the third trailer on Tuesday for the English release of the new Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness PlayStation 3 game. The trailer features much of the game's new content and gameplay, including taking a look at some of the story and the battle system of the game. The trailer also features the game's hero, Laharl, in female swap art teasing that there will also be unexpected plot developments in the new game. The game is slated for release on October 8 in North America and September 27 in Europe.

The Disgaea D2 strategy role-playing game sequel takes place after the events of the first Disgaea game. Although Laharl has officially become Overlord of the Netherworld, no one except a few demons and higher angels in Heaven accept him as the Overlord (or realize his new position). In order to prove himself, he creates the new goal of ruling all demons with an iron fist.

NIS America announced in February its plans to bring Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness to the United States. The game shipped in Japan on March 20. Atlus USA released the first Disgaea game in North America in 2003. Geneon Entertainment released the anime adaption of the first game in 2006, and Funimation recovered the license when Geneon Entertainment ceased in-house North American distribution. Broccoli Books licensed the Disgaea manga, and released two volumes of the four-volume Disgaea 2 manga until it also closed its doors.
