While Ni no Kuni has had a number of releases overseas, the Level-5 developed franchise has only breached the west in a single instance. Released back in 2013, Wrath of the White Witch is a unique, highly-original RPG best known for its Studio Ghibli involvement. Unfortunately, the award-winning animation studio isn’t reprising their role with the sequel, but fortunately Level-5 has been able to maintain the very essence and charm the first game contained. While gamers should be playing Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom right now, its delay into 2018 is likely for the best, as gamers shouldn’t rush perfection, and based on what has been shown thus far, it has the potential to be something special in a year that’s absolutely crammed full of huge AAA releases.
Matt from We Game Daily writes: "Cross Worlds isn’t going away. It’s making a small fortune, particularly in Asian markets, so there’s no reason for Level-5 to pull the plug. That said, there’s no real reason why a full PC/console sequel can’t be developed alongside efforts to support Cross Worlds."
While Ni no Kuni 3 would be cool, if it was like the first game, where is Dark Cloud 3 and Rogue Galaxy 2?
I thought the dev recently went mobile and Japan only. They shut down their American offices. So don't expect anything for consoles
I swear they just announced a few new games.

I stand corrected then. Never heard about these games and also i just remember ni no kuni online being mobile only.
they said a loooooong time ago that Level 5 was working on a new installment but there has been no news since afaik. I just hope that they take more inspiration from 1 than 2, especially when it comes to the story.
Ni No Kuni Cross Worlds is the mobile game you're thinking of.
It looks amazing but I don't like to play mobile games.
Yeah the sequel was okay but had nothing on the first game, especially the battle system.
The story just didn't have that charm and even the twist at the end of the game wasn't really anything cool like Wrath of the White Witch.
Also the fact there was like ZERO mention of Oliver or his adventures in the game, no references, nothing was such weird. It's set a hundred or so years after but still, I'd have expected to seen some throw backs. I think we just got like a temple with his statue in it or something.
yeah, especially outside of japan. They should have released on pc at the same time as the ps3 version or a short time after.
They should've worked with Ghibli to put out a proper movie. Should've also made a Pokemon-esque spin-off rather than make Yokai Watch. If they do make a third game they gotta work with Ghibli!

Day one
I like the look of the combat in this one better than the original
Don't like the idea of not having familiars but I loved the 1st one so I'll give it a try.
