Ni No Kuni II announced for PC

Expectations were high after PS3 title Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, and we were all a bit disappointed to hear about the delay of Ni No Kuni II last December. Today Bandai Namco is finally sharing some good news, which is that the game will be released for PC in addition to PS4. At the same time they're calming everyone by confirming that the game will be out this year.

Along with this information we're also getting some details of what to expect: "In the world of Ni no Kuni, there is a kingdom called Ding Dong Dell, where cats, mice and humans used to live in harmony. After a coup, the cat's folk and their King Evan were banished. Ni no Kuni II: Revenant King recounts the story of this deposed king in his journey to build his own kingdom and unite the whole world. With him are his faithful friends Roland, Tani and the beings known as Higgledies who come from the power of the heart, a power which is found within people, animals and elements such as fire and water. Only those with pure hearts can see them. The Higgledies will lend Evan their support throughout his journey, helping him in battles and letting him reach places he wouldn't otherwise be able to get to. Follow Evan in his quest, fight powerful monsters, face perilous dungeons and help him to become a King!"

No announcement is complete without some new screenshots, which you can see below. Is it us, or does the plot sounds a little crazy?
