Prinny Party: Going Overboard!, Nippon Ichi Software's party game starring the Prinnies from Disgaea, arrives on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam). In Japan and the rest of Asia, it launches one day later, on November 12.
The game blends a sugoroku-style board-game RPG with command battles and matches for up to 4 players. The goal is to defeat Laharl, the “Supreme Overboard”, and his Protago-Knights — but the journey is the real game: move around the board, earn experience, buy stronger equipment and complete quests to stay ahead of your rivals.
Cooperate until it is time to betray
When a boss spawns on the board, players must work together to take it down. The twist is that only the player who brings the boss back to spawn gets the credit — so cooperation lasts until the moment someone steals the win. And one rule hangs over everyone: if all players die at the same time, it is game over for everybody.
Among the mechanics announced by NIS America are throwing friends, enemies and “frenemies” around the board, building and upgrading facilities such as hospitals and armories by landing on build spaces, and passing bills at the Assembly — such as tripling damage, moving again or building a cannon able to hit even the most powerful demons.
Free demo already available
A free demo, described as “sweet and spicy”, can already be downloaded on every platform. Standard Mode offers a shortened version of the game, with the Prinny, Warrior, Archer and Ninja classes and an adjusted Laharl as boss. Super-Spicy Mode offers a tougher challenge: clear the demo using only a Prinny and a limited set of tools.
The game will feature dual audio and English subtitles. Online multiplayer does not follow the traditional model: on Switch 2, the game uses GameShare, and on PC, Steam Remote Play Together — in both cases, friends can join a match even without owning a copy of the game.
Price and editions
In the West, the launch is digital-only, priced at US$29.99 on the North American eShop. In Japan, the game costs 6,980 yen (7,678 yen with tax), with physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Switch 2 and digital-only releases for Switch and PC.
Early reviews have started to appear: Cat with Monocle scored the game 4 out of 5, describing it as a fun party game with the typical Disgaea flavor, but with little content.
