Dood, No Way! Disgaea Is Getting a 4-Player PS5 Party Game
NIS America has announced Prinny Party: Going Overboard, a four-player party game set in the Disgaea universe, offering fans of the franchise a lighter, multiplayer spin-off alongside the upcoming Disgaea Mayhem musou title. The game blends a Mario Party-style board game format with RPG elements from Disgaea, letting players compete and cooperate as they work towards defeating a shared boss.
Players move around a board earning experience, acquiring equipment and completing quests, then team up to battle a boss once one appears, though only the player who delivers the final blow gets the credit. It launches officially in Japan on 12th November, with a Western release confirmed but no date yet announced.

Explained simply
Disgaea is a long-running series of Japanese games known for its distinctive visual style, quirky humour, and strategic gameplay. NIS America, the company behind the franchise, has expanded the series through various spin-offs and adaptations over the years.
The new title, Prinny Party: Going Overboard, represents a significant departure from the traditional Disgaea experience. Rather than complex turn-based battles, it is a four-player party game that uses a board game format, where players move around collecting experience and equipment before teaming up to defeat shared boss enemies.
This represents a lighter, more casual take on the Disgaea universe. Such spin-offs sit alongside the franchise's traditional strategic gameplay, allowing players to engage with the fictional world in different ways.
