A few days back it was announced that Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch™ on the Playstation 3 was to be released by Namco Bandai in both North America and Europe sometime next year. For those in Australia who were wondering if we would be seeing a release – you will be happy to know that we will be receiving the game around the same time as Europe, thanks to the folks at Namco Bandai Partners.
Olivier Comte, Senior Vice-President of Namco Bandai Partners had this to say on the announcement – “The incredible people involved in this game give it a pedigree that is rarely seen in video games, and it’s a fantastic addition to our line-up for 2012. It takes a very hard heart not to be thoroughly enchanted by the amazing universe they have created together.”
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a heart-warming tale of a young boy called Oliver, who embarks on a journey into a parallel world to become a magician in an attempt to bring back his recently-deceased mother. Along the way Oliver encounters many new friends who help him learn and grow. He can also befriend the wonderful creatures that inhabit this parallel universe, turning them into pets that Oliver can raise and collect a whole menagerie of. Why, he can even use these critters to battle other creatures on his behalf! Join Oliver as he explores the vast new world and faces a variety of formidable enemies.
In the game, the beauty of Studio Ghibli’s hand-drawn animation has been perfectly reproduced, with the cel-shaded graphics engine producing stunning real-time animations of a quality normally only seen in their industry-leading feature films. In addition, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch on PlayStation®3 brings a wealth of new content to the Ni no Kuni universe, with an additional cast of mysterious characters to meet, new areas to explore, and a whole different perspective on the involving story.
Check out Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch next year on the Playstation 3.
