Arc System Works and SuperNiche have announced Demon’s Night Fever, a new “raising speedrun simulation RPG from former Nippon Ichi Software president and Disgaea creator Sohei Niikawa. The game will launch in 2026, and platforms for the game were not announced just yet.

Here’s an overview of the new title, via Arc System Works:

Misdeed, Theft, Abduction, Plunder.
This is a tale of “Evil”, where anything goes.

Where the hero is a dull boy “Kyoshiro”, who hates the world.
And a self-proclaimed evil god having lost his powers appears to him.
Team up with the evil god and go beyond the limits of evil !
Steal! Abduct! Terminate! Let your evil show!

This past March, Niikawa opened SuperNiche as a new company with a “Creators First” management policy. SuperNiche aims to improve the development environment in Japan so that creators can freely express individually and passion for their games.  Sohei Niikawa was the only person running/being employed at SuperNiche at the time of its opening, but various projects have already begun.

SuperNiche’s first project is Etrange Overlord from Gemdrops, Broccoli, and novelist Roman Kitayama. Kitayama is also involved in the development of Demon’s Night Fever.The company will undertake several forms of media, such as games, novels, manga, music, and video.

Nippon Ichi Software appointed chairman of the board Koichi Kitazumi as the new president of the company on August 19, 2022. Niikawa resigned from his position as president of Nippon Ichi Software due to personal reasons.
