33 Comments

Ni no Kuni gained a devoted following when it launched back in 2013, and Ni no Kuni II aims to give players even more of its distinctive JRPG gameplay and story. Today, however, Bandai Namco announced that players will have to wait a bit longer for the game, as it's been delayed for two months.

Previously scheduled for release on January 19 on PS4 and PC, Ni No Kuni II has been pushed back until March 23 . According to a press release, this delay is due to developer Level-5 needing more time to ensure that the game meets the studio's standards.

"With innovation and new ideas comes the need to ensure everything works together in a fun and cohesive way," Level-5 President Akihiro Hino said. "This means we'll need a bit more time to make sure the entire Ni no Kuni II experience meets our highest quality standards."

This is the second time that the game has been delayed; the developer originally aimed for a November 10 launch. Alongside this announcement, Bandai Namco also released a new trailer showing off some of the Japanese voice acting. You can watch it above.
