Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness Trailer Previews English Dub
posted on by Rae First
NIS America (NISA), the American subsidiary of the Nippon Ichi Software game company, started streaming the second official trailer for its Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness strategy role-playing game on Tuesday. The trailer is English dubbed, but it still contains footage from the original Japanese release of the PlayStation 3 game. The game is part of the Disgaea 10th Anniversary Project.
Back in February, NIS America announced its plans to release its parent company's Disgaea Dimension 2: A Brighter Darkness role-playing game on PlayStation 3 in North America and Europe this fall. The Disgaea D2 strategy role-playing game sequel takes place after the events of the first Disgaea game. Although Laharl (voiced by Kaori Mizuhashi in Japanese) 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.
The Overlord's vassal Etna (Tomoe Hanba) and the Fallen Angel Flonne (Yūko Sasamoto) return for the sequel, while Kaori Ishihara joins the cast as Sicily, who is described as "the Overlord's younger sister?" Rounding out the cast is Minori Chihara as the "order-following demon" Barbara and Daisuke Hirakawa as the "mysterious demon" Xenolith. Chihara also performed the opening theme song "Cradle Over."
The game shipped in Japan on March 20. The first Disgaea game was released in North America by Atlus USA in 2003. Geneon Entertainment released the anime adaption of the first game in 2006, and the license was recovered by Funimation when Geneon Entertainment ceased in-house North American distribution. Broccoli Books licensed the Disgaea manga, and released two volumes of the four Disgaea 2 manga until it also closed its doors.
The company announced more details for the game earlier this month. The game will ship in North America on October 8, and in Europe on September 27.
