Ni No Kuni Team Working on PS4 Title
Level-5 have announced they are making a game for the PlayStation 4.
Company boss Akihiro Hino also said the they “might be able to announce it soon”.
The beloved studio responsible for the Professor Layton and White Knight Chronicles series’ found success earlier this year with Ni No Kuni, an RPG made in collaboration with legendary animated film company Studio Ghibli.
Hino said in an interview with Nikkei Trendy (reported by Gematsu): “It’s still in the planning stages, but we are also working on a PlayStation 4 title.
“PlayStation 4 is next-gen hardware built with the network in mind, so more than graphics performance and specs, we need to think about communication—how to use the network features.”
He went on to praise the Vita’s new price point saying: “I think the Vita’s new price (19,800 yen) is great. However, just cutting the price is not going to lead to it spreading.
“You also have to simultaneously release strategic titles. I think there is a huge amount of anticipation around what those titles will be.”
