CEO of Level-5, Akihiro Nino, has revealed more about the upcoming RPG Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom, discussing kingdom building and giving hints about a new system.
In an interview for an issue of Famitsu, Hino not only talked about kingdom building in Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom, but has also teased a brand new system for the game. It seems that this new system, although missing the specifics, will be “enough to make you want to make a game around it.” What’s interesting is that the CEO was also happy to briefly tease another system.
“Once more, this is a different element from the kingdom building, but the field maps are being drawn in diorama-like fashion, and there’s a big secret around it that involves another major new system,” said Hino. Sadly, no further details have followed. “I can’t reveal more about it, but this single system alone is enough to make you want to make a game around it, and it’s a highly anticipated system for us.”
Fans will undoubtedly be interested to find out more about this system, and about the game itself. The initial trailer of the game was enough to get the hopes up for many, with the title promising most of the same wondrous style as the first Western release for the franchise. Even though news has not always been easy to come by regarding the game, the update during PlayStation Experience 2016 definitely put the minds of gamers at ease.
Naturally, Level-5 won’t always stick so firmly to the PS4 and Sony devices for all its games, as shown by the Yo-Kai Watch series. In fact, not only is Ni No Kuni 2 set for a PC release, but the developer has even promised that it will be releasing games for the Nintendo Switch in the future. For the time being, though, no doubt Ni No Kuni 2 will be the studio’s top priority.
Ni No Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom is scheduled to release for PS4 and PC, and will launch sometime in 2017.
