Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance opening movie released

In a few months Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance will be released in Japan by Nippon Ichi Software and today the company released the opening movie for the game and you can check it out below. While the video’s style will be familiar to most longtime Disgaea fans, the music this time around feels different from what usually accompanies the game’s openings and also gives us a look at why Killia is so eager to take down Void Dark.

Currently Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance is set to be released in Japan on March 26th for the PlayStation 4 and NIS America has already stated that they will be bringing the title to North America and Europe later in 2015.

Today Seven Seas Entertainment took to Twitter to announce that they are kicking off 2015 with a number of manga license announcements. They have announced the licensing of the Akuma no Riddle: Riddle Story of Devil, Golden Time, Merman in My Tub, and Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation manga series.

While Seven Seas did not elaborate on these new licenses, they did state that the first volumes of Akuma no Riddle: Riddle Story of Devil, Golden Time, and Merman in my Tub will be released in October 2015 while the first volume of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation will be released in November 2015.

Of the four licenses, Golden Time, Riddle Story of Devil, and Merman in my Tub have been given anime adaptations in the past. It is worth noting that although Golden Time and Mushoku Tensei are originally light novels, these licenses are only for the manga adaptations. It is interesting to see that a 4-koma manga such as Merman in My Tub was picked up as these series are generally overlooked, though given the company’s success so far with monster girls, adding some mermen isn’t much of a stretch.

This week’s issue of Famitsu magazine has revealed some new details for Deception IV: Another Princess. It seems that once players step into the new “Quest Mode” that offers a hundred quests for players to finish as the new main character Valgyrie, they will not only face off against the main character from Blood Ties, but the main characters from the past Koei Tecmo Deception games, including Millennia from Kagero: Deception II, Allura from Trapt, and Reina from Deception III: Dark Delusion.

It has also been revealed that traps from past games such as the Genocide Eye will be added to Deception IV, allowing longtime fans of the series to take on their former characters using some of their classic traps. For those who haven’t been following this updated version of Deception IV, players will take on the role of Valgyrie, a nightmare princess who has begun losing her powers after sleeping for an extremely long time and unlike other princesses, she is capable of attacking enemies herself in a sadistic manner.
