Level-5 is known for its work on the Dragon Quest series, and Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch sticks close to the studio's specialty of role-playing games.

The story follows Oliver, a young boy on a quest to become a master magician in an effort to return his dead mother from a parallel world called Ni no Kuni. The game was praised for its imaginative scenarios, funny dialogue, and orchestral soundtrack in GameSpot's review.

Exclusive to the PlayStation 3, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch will be released January 31.

Other games out this week include Skulls of the Shogun on Xbox Live Arcade and Ace Combat Assault Horizon: Enhanced Edition on the PC, which was delayed from its intended release last week. For more details, check out the full list of new releases below.
