To celebrate the release of Studio Ghibli ’s latest animation From Up On Poppy Hill on 2 August, we’re going to have a daily rummage through the Spirited Away studio’s magical history
Q is for Queen Of The White Sacred Ash… Ni No Kuni
Ghibli made its first foray into the gaming world earlier this year with the release of Ni no Kuni: Shiroki Seihai no Joō which literally means Second Country: The Queen of White Sacred Ash . Ni No Kuni follows a young boy named Oliver, who embarks on a journey into a parallel world to become a magician in an attempt to bring his mother back from the dead. Imagine playing an RPG where you can literally play and interact with a Ghibli world you have Ni No Kuni . No, can we have a game that allows us to explore Yubaba's bathhouse in Spirted Away and we’ll be happy.
