NIS America announced today that Digaea 3 is coming to the PS3 in August of this year. The Disgaea games are strategy RPGs marked by a 2D anime world, a bizarre cast of characters, incredibly deep gameplay, and hilarious dialog.

The previous Disgaea games fit comfortably on the PS2 and PSP with their charming-but-dated graphics, but NIS looks to give their PS3-bound title the appropriate treatment. IGN quotes the press release as saying that Disgaea 3 “makes a bold new step towards the next generation console with a whole new cast, story and game system” in addition to the new terrain-altering Geo Block.

This game definitely won’t be for everyone, but this is big news for fans of this fantastic series. The PS3’s summer keeps looking better and better.
