Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom
The sequel to Ni no Kuni is being developed for Windows and PlayStation 4. Players control Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum, a young king who has been kidnapped from his castle and sets out to reclaim his kingdom. While players can freely control Evan through the game's open world, other characters can be controlled during battles against enemies. During these battles, players use magical abilities and elemental creatures known as "Higgledies" with which they can cast spells.
Story
The game begins with Roland witnessing a rocket explode over a city. He then disappears and reappears in front of Evan in Ding Dong Dell. He is suddenly young again when Mausinger, Evan's late father's advisor, stages a coup. During their escape, they learn that Mausinger has poisoned the previous king and wants to have Evan killed in order to take control of the kingdom. With the help of Evan's governess Aranella, who sacrifices herself for their safety, Evan and Roland escape safely from Ding Dong Dell. Evan promises her that he will build a new kingdom where everyone can be happy and free. Since then, he is occasionally approached in his dreams by a mysterious boy his own age who becomes his confidant.
