Nippon Ichi Software announced the Makai Senki Disgaea 7 game for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch consoles and will be released in Japan on January 26, 2023. The game is still exclusive to Japanese version but will be released much later in the year for its English version. Usually, the English version of the past Disgaea games comes out 5-6 months after its Japanese release. Disgaea 6 had a January 28th release date with the NA version coming out 5 months later in the year on June 29th. Disgaea 5 on the other hand had a March 25th release date but an NA release of October 6th which is around 6 months of development. We should expect the NA release to be almost the same time so if we replicate its development with the past two versions, we're looking into the end of June or early August for it. 

Disgaea 7 will also feature 45 generic characters, the most in the franchise. A lot of new and unique units will be added to the roster for you to beef up your party. The game will also feature an “online AI battle mode” for the first time where you can test your skills with Online AI data.

The game will take place in a premodern Japanese-style demon world, and will star a swordsman named Fuji (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa) and a young otaku woman named Piririka (voiced by Hiyori Nitta) who will embark on a journey to take back the “Hinomoto Tamashii.”
