4 years ago Ni No Kuni III was announced, but hasnt heard anything since.

A third Ni No Kuni game is being worked on

Details are still pretty scarce at the moment, but a third game in the Ni No Kuni series is being worked on.

Probably in development hell

 

[adamsapple]

The translated interview just says a new Ni No Kuni is being worked on.

It was probably the free to play mobile game that came out in 2021.

It's a Level-5 game. They probably had internal restructuring after how fucking bad Yokai Watch 3 bombed in the West and they had to close up shop of their localisation efforts. I remember the first game selling MEGA, did the second even do well?

 

[Umbasaborne]

Hope it doesn’t suck like 2

 

[bender]

Ni No Kuni II happened.

 

[semiconscious]

divine intervention?...

 

[Cornbread78]

3rd game would be nice to see..

 

[scydrex]

Well... after II idk it was a letdown for me personally. Love the first one so much. It's something special.

Some game goes into oblivion before to come back, nothing really unusual, like The Talos Principle 2, it was announced or confirmed a LONG TIME AGO and we finally just recently got some news about the release after a much too long radio silence.

Just forget it for now and the wait will be "bearable".

 

[N0S]

NNK3 was announced?

 

[Spukc]

2 fucking sucked so they killed it

everyone keeps going on like it was canceled, never was. Mobile game.

‎Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds

‎Time for another adventure in Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds! Directed and produced by [LEVEL5 Inc.], and featuring animation from [Studio Ghibli] and music by composer [Joe Hisaishi], a talented team unites to create the newest installment in the [Ni no Kuni] game series, 『Ni no Kuni: Cross...

probably more successful than the console titles put together.

Level 5 is dead sadly. They mismanaged their IPs.

All I wanted was a new Dark Chronicle game. ;(

 

[LakeOf9]

2 was a terrible game and then Level 5 almost went bankrupt

I think they are coming back now with some cool games, but they are probably focusing on IPs that actually have some mass market appeal, compared to Ni no Kuni, which has never really been profitable

Level 5 is dead sadly. They mismanaged their IPs.

No they are not, they have a bunch of cool stuff coming out that was announced just some months ago

I don’t know what is going on with 3 but I loved 1 and 2 was the most disappointing game of all time for me. Doubt I’ll even play it if there is a third one.

 

[Hudo]

Who knows what goes on inside Level-5 these days. Akino and Horii themselves teased a DQ9 remake in an interview years ago (and I highly doubt they would publicly talk and joke around about it without the intention to make). And we got nothing.

 

[Ryūtō]

NNK3 was announced?

Yeah this was news to me too. As someone above you said, it probably boiled down to a translation error and the game in question might've been the mobile game.

 

[Ryūtō]

2 fucking sucked so they killed it

Yeah from what I played of 2 so far it isn't the best, but it does have it's crowning moments. The first one on the other hand was exceptional. I was honestly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

You forgot to take them off your naughty list after NNK 2. They had to close up shop in the US. Maybe next Christmas you will remember them and drop a bag of money under their tree.

Slacking Claus, Slacking.

 

[Sorcerer]

Strange to think that at one point, Level-5 was poised to become bigger than Square.

 

[Fuz]

I always forget that I really want to play NNK1.

 

[Fake]

The sequel is pretty bad, but the first one is amazing. IMO is what Pokemon should be in the first place.

 

[kevm3]

Not so sure why people hate part 2. Part 2 was better than from what I've played of 1, unless you are just tethered to the turn based content.

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

Isn't level 5 making this game:

I think it looks pretty good.
