Ben-DutkaWe were going to wait until we could locate more English information – and whether or not Level-5 intends to release it in North America – but everyone keeps talking about it, so you kinda forced our hand.
The White Knight Chronicles developer has announced a new PlayStation 3 title called Ni no Kuni , which is not simply a remake of the DS version of the game. This is actually an entirely separate role-playing adventure specifically designed for the PS3 and it'll carry the subtitle of "Queen of the Holy White Ash." Various sources have posted up the debut trailer and any baseline details they can find but for now, all we know is that it's set to release some time next year; the DS version of Ni no Kuni will be out in Japan on December 9, 2010.
It sure is pretty, isn't it? Even if it's not necessarily your cup of tea, you should still be able to appreciate the supreme level of artistry and animation evident in this presentation, and although definitely a little "kiddie," the combat could be surprisingly deep. This is supposed to be an RPG, after all. We'll let you know when Level-5 feels like releasing more information for this promising PS3 title; for now, many are watching the above video and coming away with smiles on their faces.
