Makai Wars is a game initially planned for the PSP but later moved to the PS3.^[1]. It may contain elements from games such as Disgaea and Cross Edge, as it has the same developer.

It has been put on hold due to technical difficulties, staff priorities, and other conflicts.

The game was to star Asagi, a recurring character who first cameoed in Makai Kingdom. Since her appearance there she has been the eternal "Main character of the Next Game" and now roams other NIS games trying to take them over and become the main character by force.

Makai Wars is frequently referenced in other NIS games, such as in Prinny: Can I really be the Hero, Asagi was to be the main character, but was removed due to the ending of making the game. This could be a possible reason as to why Asagi is insane in the game, mentioning it during a therapy lesson with the Hero Prinny.

It is later mentioned in the PSP Version of Disgaea 2, in the special "Axel Mode". In the story, Makai Wars is actually a movie which has been on constant hiatus and development hell. It is eventually put into motion, and Asagi appears, claiming to be the main character. Axel refuses to believe a human could be such, and defeats her to prove this point. However, it turns out that she was indeed cast as the main character, and due to the incident, the movie was put on hiatus again. After the story is completed, it is shown that Makai Wars 2 was released, completely bypassing the first movie.

It is also referenced in Disgaea Infinite in the hidden ending where Asagi shouts its name, claiming it will one day get its epic release.
