Ni no Kuni

{{{Translation|Ni no Kuni|二ノ国}} is a Japanese franchise of RPG series published by Bandai Namco worldwide and developed and published by Level-5 in Japan. The first game entitled Ni no Kuni: Dominion of the Dark Djinn was released in December 2010 for the Nintendo DS as part of Level-5's tenth-anniversary project. An enhanced remake of the first game entitled Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch was released in Japan for Playstation 3 on November 2011. A localized version of the game was published in Western regions by Namco Bandai Games in January 2013. A sequel named Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, was released on Microsoft Windows and PlayStation 4 on March 2018.

The games were heavily praised for its development due to Studio Ghibli's co-production for the artwork and animation of the Dominion of the Dark Djinn and Wrath of the White Witch, thus making the franchise as one of the best modern role-playing games. Reviewers mostly aimed their praise at particular elements of the games: visual design, and its resemblance to Studio Ghibli's previous work; characters and story, for their believability and complexity; the soundtrack, and Hisaishi's ability to capture the essence of the game world; and the unique gameplay, particularly for its ability to blend formulas from other role-playing game franchises. The games also won awards from several gaming publications. In May 2018, Bandai Namco reported that the series had shipped 2.8 million copies worldwide.

An animated film adaptation produced by OLM, Inc. and distributed by Warner Bros. will premiere on August 23, 2019.
