Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is an upcoming RPG developed by Level-5 in collaboration with the famous anime company, Studio Ghibli. The game follows a 13-year-old boy, Oliver, who enters the magical world of Ni no Kuni to bring his mother back from the dead. Oliver is accompanied by a fairy named Drippy, and possesses a book which allows him to use magic.

As expected of Studio Ghibli, the game has amazing visuals which fit perfectly with the fantastic world created by Level-5. The beautiful lands of Ni no Kuni are far from safe, however: Oliver will have to face many dangerous enemies. Luckily, there also are characters who will join him on his quest – up to a maximum party size of three. The battle mode is largely turn-based as is typical for JRPGs, but it is possible to move to avoid attacks and collect health orbs in real time.
