Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten has more downloadable content coming, but instead of guest characters Nippon Ichi hired guest artists to create new classes for the PlayStation 3 game.

Disgaea 4 is about Valvatorez, a vampire who has sworn off human blood in favor of sardines. It’s also more welcoming of newcomers who aren’t familiar with its predecessors.

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten has a number of additions like the discipline room showcased inside. Enemies captured by throwing them in your base panel become hostages.

If there’s one trait that defines Valvatorez, the vampire protagonist in Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, is he sticks to his word. The game opens in Hades where Valvatorez and his werewolf steward Fenrich work as Prinny instructors.

Disgaea games are set in the Netherworld where being bad is good, so can you really trust a manifesto written by Laharl?

NISA-chan comes from Hyperdimension Neptunia and one of her attacks levels up in an interesting way. The Nippon Ichi beam (pictured inside) gets 1% stronger for each 10 hours of play time.

“When we making Disgaea 4, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness was set as the benchmark. All of the fans love Disgaea 1, it’s the original and has the greatest acclaim in the series. We wanted to make a game better than that,” said Souhei Niikawa.

Crossover character from Hyperdimension Neptunia crosss into Disgaea 4.

Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten will debut in North America in a few weeks, which means we won’t see the Fuka & Desco chapters for at least a couple of months.

Speaking with a representative from NIS America, Siliconera learned certain unvoiced scenes from the Japanese version will have voice acting in the English version of Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten.

From archer to witch, these are the basic classes in Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten.

NIS America sent over some English screenshots of Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten where the game’s lead character Valvatorez promises to protect the Prinnies.

NIS America is up to their usual Etna gags.

Three more Nippon Ichi characters are coming to Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten as downloadable guests.
