Ni no Kuni (Japanese: 二ノ国?) is a series of role-playing games developed by Level-5. The first games in the series chiefly follow the young Oliver, and his journey to another world to save his mother and stop the beckoning evil. An upcoming game will follow Evan Pettiwhisker Tildrum, a boy king who is usurped from his castle, and sets out to reclaim his kingdom. The games utilize several magic elements, allowing players to use magical abilities during gameplay, as well as creatures known as imajinn/familiars, which can be tamed for suitability during battle.
Conceived as a project for Level-5's tenth anniversary, Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn was released in December 2010 for the Nintendo DS. An enhanced version of the game for the PlayStation 3, Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, was released in Japan in November 2011. The games were developed separately, retaining similar stories, but featuring significant artwork, graphics and specification changes. A localized version of the game was published in Western regions by Namco Bandai Games in January 2013. A sequel, Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, is scheduled for a 2017 release for the PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows. Two mobile games have also been released: Hotroit Stories in December 2010 through the Roid service, and Daibouken Monsters in May 2012 through the GREE service. The former follows the story of Oliver and Mark as they try to find parts for a car, and the latter is a social card game in which players collect cards featuring imajinn.
