Arc System Works Sets Demons Night Fever For October 22
A publisher best known for fighting games is putting its name on a Drecom-developed RPG with a Disgaea producer and an Etrian Odyssey character designer, which reads as a deliberate move into the rude, internet-flavored comedy niche those credits suggest.

Arc System Works plans to release Demons Night Fever on October 22, 2026 for PS5 and Nintendo Switch, with Drecom handling development and Souhei Niikawa of Disgaea fame as producer. The training RTA simulation RPG follows Jaryuin Kyoushirou, an overworked programmer who becomes the apostle of a self-proclaimed evil god. It is built around a kill-everything concept, enemies and allies alike.
The release date comes with a full staff line: Drecom develops, Souhei Niikawa produces, Yuuji Himukai designs characters, Tatsuya Yano handles music, and syudou writes, composes, and sings the opening song. The game runs on chapters with a day limit, and its situations shift each chapter, including a monster fighting a sentai hero and a witch fighting a magical girl. Players commit evil deeds to accumulate vice points and strengthen their army.
