Since delaying the release of the title until March 23rd, 2018, it’s been a little while since Bandai Namco dropped off much of an update for the upcoming PS4 and PC RPG release.
So today we do finally get a look at a pair of new features in the game: Higgledy spirit partners and the creative Kingdom Mode. Higgledies are unique helpers with special abilities which will assist your party in and out of battle. Kingdom Mode gives players a chance to build and maintain a new sim-like kingdom known as Evermore, with the ability to customize the infrastructure and economy of this little city, which can lead to new equipment and items for your party.

BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment America Inc. today released new Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM screen shots and art highlighting the various types of Higgledy partners players will encounter through their journey, as well as Kingdom Mode. Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM will be available for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and STEAM for PC on March 23, 2018.
Throughout his journey in Ni no Kuni II: REVENANT KINGDOM, Evan will encounter spirits called Higgledies. These forces of nature will aid Evan and friends in battle by automatically attacking enemies, providing elemental or physical buffs to party members while in battle, and opening shortcuts and new pathways in dungeons and throughout the world. Players can collect 100 unique Higgledies including Higgledy heroes, each with their own unique attacks and special powers. Strategically take the best into battle to gain the upper hand.
Kingdom Mode gives Evan the opportunity to regain his throne by creating Evermore, a new kingdom where everyone can live in harmony. Create and place a variety of buildings to build out the kingdom?s infrastructure and provide jobs for the citizens of the kingdom. New storefronts mean new items, weapons, and Higgledies will become available for Evan and his team on their quest to rid the world of evil.
