Ni No Kuni coming to Europe & US Ni No Kuni coming to Europe & US

Thanks to Namco Bandai.

Level 5 and Studio Ghibli's gorgeous-looking PlayStation 3 and DS adventure, Ni No Kuni, will be coming to Europe and the US after all.

That's thanks to Namco Bandai, who have picked up the publishing rights for the game in the West. It's due to be released next year, and will go by the name Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. Namco Bandai has only confirmed the PS3 version, however - no word on if it'll be bringing the DS game West as well.

The game is notable for the collaboration between Professor Layton / White Knight Chronicles developer Level 5 and anime director Hayao Miyazaki's famous Studio Ghibli, which brought us films including the spectacular Nausicaa, My Neighbour Totoro, Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away.

It follows the story of a young boy named Oliver, who is given a magical book by a fairy that allows him to visit the mysterious world of Ni No Kuni.

And did we mention it looks gorgeous? We did? Okay.
