Prinny Party: Going Overboard! Coming to the West – A New Adventure for Disgaea Fans

Prinny Party: Going Overboard! is entering the Western market as a new party game starring the explosive penguins we know from Nippon Ichi Software's iconic Disgaea series. According to Anime News Network, the game will launch on November 12, 2026, in Japan for Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC (Steam). The international launch is expected to take place shortly thereafter.

For Prinny fans, this news marks a long-awaited comeback. First appearing in Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (2003), these explosive characters quickly became the series' mascots. They were highly acclaimed in 2008 and 2010 with their own games, Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? and Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood! Now, with Prinny Party: Going Overboard!, this legend is being revived on modern platforms with local and online multiplayer party modes for up to 4 players.

According to the game's details, the Prinnies will compete against each other in chaotic mini-games set on a ship. Accompanied by explosions, penguin tosses, and plenty of "dood" exclamations, the production aims to both provide nostalgia for old fans and attract new players to this colorful world. In Nippon Ichi Software's official statement, it is emphasized that the game offers a "laughter-filled party experience where you lose control." Additionally, the game will take its place on shelves in the West, both digitally and potentially physically, shortly after its release in Japan.

So why is this important? The Disgaea series has a cult status, especially among tactical RPG lovers. The Prinny games are among the most beloved spin-offs that highlight the humorous and absurd side of the series. Prinny Party: Going Overboard! also stands out as one of the first wave of games for the Nintendo Switch 2. This provides a great option for those looking for a fun party game during the platform's launch period. The Western release date and gameplay trailers are expected to be clarified in the coming months. Disgaea and Prinny fans can already mark their calendars for November 12.
