THE ENCHANTING WORLD OF NI NO KUNI II: REVENANT KINGDOM™ OPENS ITS GATES FOR PC PLAYERS
Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM is without a doubt, one of the most highly anticipated Japanese RPG experiences coming in 2017. Developed by world renowned Japanese video game studio Level-5 Inc. with participation of the former Studio Ghibli animator Yoshiyuki Momose and music by Joe Hisaishi, Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM is ready to enchant more people than ever, both on the PlayStation®4 and PC players for the very first time!
In the world of Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM, players enter the kingdom of Ding Dong Dell, where cats, mice, and humans once lived in harmony. After a treacherous coup, Evan, the young boy king of Ding Dong Dell is banished from his kingdom. Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM recounts the story of this deposed king and his journey to build his own kingdom and unite the entire world.
Supporting Evan on his adventure are friends Roland, Tani, and beings known as Higgledies who come from the power of the hearts found within people, animals, and elements such as fire and wind. Only individuals with pure hearts can see the Higgledies. The Higgledies will aid Evan throughout his journey, helping him in battles, and letting him reach places he wouldn’t otherwise be able to access. Join Evan on his quest as he fights powerful monsters, face perilous dungeons, and rises to once again become a King!
