Maybe it’s the fanboy RPG geek in me, but of all of the announcements at PlayStation Experience 2015, I was most excited about Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. Level-5 and BANDAI NAMCO announced that the beautiful cel-shaded sequel will be coming to PlayStation 4
Leading interactive entertainment media publisher and developer BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. is pleased to announce that Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM is in development for the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system.

“With its emotional storytelling, innovative gameplay, and breathtaking aesthetics, the original Ni no Kuni broke new ground in the RPG genre and became one of the most beloved and well-received games of 2013,” said Eric Hartness, Vice President of Marketing at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. “With Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM, the artistic visionaries behind the first game are back to take their creative vision of a grand adventure to even higher heights that are sure to delight video game fans.”
