We’ve gotten a ton of new Ni no Kuni II gameplay footage in the past couple days, but Bandai Namco isn’t quite content with what they’ve posted. They put out another video, this time showing off what kingdom building will look like. The 30-second video shows off the new mode, which is where players will “build up your kingdom as you see fit and recruit various denizens to your cause.”
Check out the new Ni no Kuni II kingdom building gameplay video below:

Every so often a truly unique gem rises above the rest of the games, and some of these titles are strong enough to shine long far beyond their release year. Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is one such game, having landed as our RPG of the year in 2013 in spite of it being an English port of the Japanese version that released in 2011. That’s right, it was that good. Ni no Kuni meshes stunning Studio Ghibli style art with some of the best JRPG mechanics to create one of the few games that I was ever sad to get a Platinum on, just because the adventure had come to an end.
The announcement of Ni no Kuni 2 has me back on the edge of my seat and E3 2017 finally gave me a chance to go hands-on with it, if only for a brief period. Once again, Level 5 is blurring the line between interactivity and animation. Headed by an all-star development team straight from Studio Ghibli, and the same team that made the first game, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is in good hands.
Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom is set to release March 23, 2018.
