Arc System Works streamed the opening movie for Demons' Night Fever, the new game from Disgaea creator Sohei Niikawa and his studio SuperNiche. Syudou performs the opening theme "Dropout." The game launches October 22 on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam.
The opening movie confirms the game's tone: a story of another Earth where the Devil, Giga Super Death, is turned into a baby just before killing God. His resurrection program, "DEMONS' NIGHT FEVER," drags in Killshiro Katanaka, a gloomy young man who hates the world, and the two form a pact.
The game is listed as a "Raising Speedrunning Simulation RPG" with the tagline "The more you die, the stronger you become!" Tatsuya Yano, former Gust and Atelier series composer, handles the music, and Yuji Himukai is the character designer. Roman Kitayama wrote the original story and scenario. The cast includes Yuya Hirose as Killshiro, Kaori Mizuhashi as Giga Super Death, Sayumi Suzushiro as Mary, and Nobuyuki Hiyama as God.
Niikawa left his post as Nippon Ichi Software president in 2022 and revealed SuperNiche in March 2025. Demons' Night Fever is the studio's first announced project.
