Ni No Kuni confirmed for the west

Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino has confirmed at the Tokyo Game Show that Ni No Kuni, the striking collaboration between the Professor Layton developer and renowned animation house Studio Ghibli, will be released in the west. An English localisation of the game is already underway, with a North American release planned for early 2012. Ni No Kuni was released for DS last year, but the PS3 version - which will be released in Japan on November 17 - will feature additional story content, with Hino also revealing post-release DLC is in the works.
