According to Dengenki Playstation Magazine, Nippon Ichi has announced Disgaea 2. Called Makai Senki Disgaea 2 on the other side of the pond, it will launch in 2006.

The game will feature new main characters, and takes place three years after the first Disgaea. The main character is 17-year-old Adel, whose world's population was turned to demons 15 years ago upon the arrival of the dark lord Xenon. Adel was unaffected by the demon's curse, and sets out to fight Xenon and save his family.

Disgaea 2 returns to the humorous roots of the first game, so fans of the original shouldn't be dissapointed. Disgaea 2 also brings back many of the features from the first game, including the demonic congress. Makai Senki Disgaea 2 has not been announced for US release, but it will more than likely reach our shores.
