Nippon Ichi Software Opens Mystery Teaser Website Featuring Warm Visuals

It looks like Nippon Ichi Software is cooking up yet another new project behind the scenes!

The Disgaea series developer has opened a mysterious new teaser website for another unannounced title. Currently, there’s no other details on the site except for a trailer which shows a warm visual of a forest (seen below).

While we have no idea what this game might be yet, Japanese retailer Bic Camera posted and quickly removed a listing that likely reveals more details about it. According to the leaked listing, the game will apparently launch for Switch on 24 June 2021 and will be titled “Warui Ousama to Rippa-na Yuusha” (The Wicked King and the Noble Hero).

Here’s a translation  of the game’s listing below (courtesy of Gematsu):

A Heartwarming Story Born from Interspecies Communication

“I’m going to become a noble hero just like papa!”

The human girl Yuu is the daughter of the late hero. Raised by the king dragon, she is told about her father’s adventures every night… Inspired by the story of the hero who defeated the overlord, she sets off on an adventure to become a noble hero.

But Yuu is still unaware… that the overlord that her father once battled was the king dragon himself.

Warm, Picture Book-Like Graphics

Many of the elements that appear on-screen, from the characters in the story to backgrounds, have been hand-drawn by the designers. Enjoy detailed graphics such as the depths of the forest and feeling of soft light throughout the entire story. Many unique characters will also appear. You will surely meet someone you like.

With a story told through read-aloud narration, pleasant music, and a fairytale-like setting, you will feel as if you have really stepped into a picture book.
