Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch confirmed for Europe
UK gamers will be thrilled to learn that the much talked-about Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is making its way to European shores next year.
Namco Bandai has confirmed that the acclaimed role-playing game, from Dragon Quest IX and Professor Layton developer Level-5, will be making its Western debut on PlayStation 3 next year.
Ni no Kuni is a collaboration between Level-5 and the legendary Studio Ghibli, the renowned Japanese animation studio behind films such as Spirited Away and My Neighbour Totoro.
Featuring stunning visuals and music from Ghibli stalwart Joe Hisaishi, the game tells the story of a young boy who ventures into another world to become a magician, while meeting and recruiting strange creatures to help him on his quest.
Akihiro Hino, president and chief executive officer of Level-5, said: "It was a momentous experience to create a game with artists who represent Japan as much as Studio Ghibli and Mr Hisaishi do."
Fans of Level-5 will be able to experience more of their charming work with the release of Professor Layton and the Spectre's Call on Nintendo DS next month.
