Koei announced yesterday its plans to release Disgaea: Hour of Darkness for the Playstation 2 in Europe. Developed by Nippon Ichi, the game follows the story of the resident demon and spoiled brat, Laharl as he sets out to prove himself as an overlord. Disgaea was released in North America last year by publisher Atlus, and is considered by many to be one of the top RPGs of 2003.

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness will be released in Europe sometime in May.
