The article also says that DD2 is a new series separate from the main numbered series. Whether this means more adventures for the Disgaea trio or letting Adell, Mao, or Val have another go is unknown but regardless this is all kinds of awesome.

UPDATE (Thanks maharl)
A new siliconera article says that Dimensions will introduces new characters to the story. One of them, who is in the group shot, is Laharl's ????????

There are also rumors of monster mounts.

UPDATE 2: (Thanks nalina)
http://disgaea.jp/d2/

The background has changed to the group artwork but with everyone shadowed out with the exception of Laharl. Most likely, the others will become visible as we count down to when the official site goes live. There's also a new BGM.

If anyone is going to be related to Laharl my money is on the purple haired girl who has a spear. The hair color is similar enough to Kirchevskoys, and she has red eyes and demonic ears increasing the chances of her being related much more than the angel. While she doesn't seem to have the antenna it is quite possible that she uses the hair band to keep them hidden. Also look at the weapon she's weilding didn't Krichevskoy use a spear.

Yeah I see the resemblance, the problem with this is that the magazine Dengeki Playstation has already said that the character that has a relation with Laharl is the little Angel behind Flonne ( Laharl's ???? as they put it).

Of course that doesn't mean that this purple haired girl could not have a relation to him or other character, but right now they have only teased about the angel girl.

Really, well I didn't notice that. Hey didn't the first world of disgaea artbook have some designs for Laharls little sister?
