Roland, a strange visitor from some other world, will join and help King Evan with his quest.

"Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch" was released in 2013 inspired Level-5 to create a sequel game. Although "Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom" bears the "II" or 2 in its title it is in fact, the fifth game in the "Ni no Kuni" game series.

Hino admired the narrative and artistic style of Studio Ghibli's creations. However, Ghibli's participation in the development of the sequel game is still not clear. The soundtrack and the character design though are obviously of Ghibli's artworks. Studio Ghibli is the creator of acclaimed animated movies "Ponyo," "The Secret World of Arrietty" and "My Neighbor Totoro."
