NIS America and Nippon Ichi Software have officially announced Disgaea Mayhem, the latest entry in the renowned Disgaea series, set for launch on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
The highly anticipated action RPG spin-off is scheduled to be released globally both at retail and digitally via the Nintendo eShop in Summer 2026, marking a significant expansion for the Disgaea franchise on Nintendo platforms. Disgaea Mayhem puts players in the role of N.A., a mercenary with a sweet tooth, who is tasked with vanquishing hordes of monsters for profit.
Stepping away from the traditional tactical RPG roots of the series, Disgaea Mayhem adopts an action RPG format, providing fast-paced combat and direct player control.
Players can equip weapons from seven different classes, including staples like the sword and ranged bow, allowing a flexible and personalized approach to battles. A representative from NIS America described the experience as an opportunity for players to "take the reins in combat, utilizing classic Disgaea weaponry such as swords, guns, and axes to eliminate hundreds of foes." The game retains the signature grind element the series is known for, offering the chance to level up, fortify gear in the Item World, reincarnate for improved stats, and even pass new bills at the Dark Chocolate Assembly—an in-universe take on the popular Dark Assembly mechanic designed to help players boost their characters’ damage output to astronomical levels. Featuring both new and returning characters, Disgaea Mayhem allows players to recruit iconic demons like the fan-favorite Prinny, delivering the nostalgia and humor for which the series is famed.
The game’s story brings together N.A.
and Princess Tichelle, who is notorious for her insatiable love of flan.
By working together, they each pursue their own goals—wealth for N.A.
and desserts for the princess—in a storyline infused with the lighthearted charm and wit synonymous with Disgaea titles. Key features highlighted by the publisher include: - Magichange Into Action: Engage in real-time action combat with classic Disgaea weapons, taking down waves of enemies. - Grind Up to Get Down: Strengthen characters by leveling up, reincarnating, and maxing out equipment in the return of the Item World. - Satisfy Her Cravings: Progress alongside Princess Tichelle, weaving dessert-loving antics into an all-new narrative. With Disgaea Mayhem, Nippon Ichi Software builds on its longstanding reputation for inventive, genre-bending RPGs.
The forthcoming release for both Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch underscores the developer’s continued commitment to the Nintendo ecosystem.
Fans can look forward to more details and media—including trailers and screenshots—as Summer 2026 approaches.
Disgaea Mayhem is set to offer both series veterans and newcomers fresh opportunities for chaotic, over-the-top action RPG gameplay on Nintendo’s latest hardware.
