South Korean mobile games developer Netmarble and Japanese publisher Level-5 are set to release the third mobile game in the Ni no Kuni franchise later this year. To celebrate, the official website for Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds just went live and a gorgeous, anime trailer for the game was also released. Check it out below.
While a lot of anime fans are guessing that Studio Ghibli created the trailer based on the art style and the fact that Ghibli previously created the animated sequences of Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. However, the animation was actually made by the Korea-based Studio Ppuri.
The game is essentially a mobile MMORPG where players will form communities (guilds) of up to 100 players where they will work together to complete objectives and obtain prizes.
While there have been several Ni no Kuni games that eventually made their way to the West, there's never been a Ni no Kuni mobile game that was ported over so North American fans will unfortunately have to appreciate the game's gorgeous visuals from afar.
