Last year when Disgaea 6: Defiance of Destiny was released in the West as a Nintendo Switch exclusive, many wondered just what happened to the PlayStation 4 version that remained in Japan. Well, that version is now being upgraded and coming to a number of new platforms as Nippon Ichi Software and NIS America have announced that Disgaea 6 Complete will be coming to the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC in Japan on June 16th and sometime this summer for the West.
When released, Disgaea 6 Complete will include all of the previous DLC including characters and cosmetic costumes that were released for the original game and the announcement trailer as well as a number of PlayStation 5 screenshots can be found below. As mentioned in our review of the Switch version of the game the number of changes made to the formula may streamline things but also put off longtime fans of the series though whether or not these changes will all hold true in this re-release will remain to be seen.
After being announced last year, Telltale Games has released some of the first details for The Wolf Among Us 2: A Telltale Series. The first detail is unfortunately that fans of the series will need to wait until 2023 to play it but at least all episodes will be completed at the time the first episode is released.
When released the game will arrive on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and PC at the same time and to go along with this announcement a trailer was also revealed and can be found below. This new season takes place six months after the events in season one. As Bigby, players take on a case that spans the normal-mundie world, torn between who players will be willing to help.
