It's been quite the wait for Switch fans – Ni No Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom first released on PS4 back in March 2018 – but the chance to see Level 5's acclaimed RPG on Nintendo's system has finally arrived.
Technically released as the 'Prince's Edition' on Switch, the game tells the story of Evan Pettwhisker Tildrum, a kid who lost his promised throne in the kingdom of Ding Dong Dell and sets himself on a quest to establish a new kingdom.
The Prince's Edition gives Switch owners the chance to play through the main game as well as some additional DLC, as listed below:
- Adventure Pack. This pack contains new outfits and items along with the Faraway Forest Cave random dungeon as well as new foes threatening Evan’s kingdom
- The Lair of the Lost Lord in which Evan will embark on an extraordinary quest in a new world. New items, equips and a new dungeon, Labyrinth, are also included in the DLC
- The Tale of a Timeless Tone. During a dream, Evan meets a rabbit-headed man who calls himself the “Conductor”. Players will explore Evan’s dream and find the truth behind all this. New content is also included along with the Solosseum Slog dungeon.
We shared our full review of the game just yesterday, calling it "an excellent action-RPG that's arrived on Switch in a fantastic, feature-packed port." If you're yet to pick it up, we'd urge you to give that a read and then treat yourself to a copy if it seems like it could be for you.

So the Switch version came with all contents including DLC while the PS4 version was Vanilla version ?
Kinda hard decision as I knew the PS4 version has been released first and have 60 fps (currently sold with cheaper price here in Indonesia) while the Switch version was still 30 fps and the price was more expensive than PS4 version. Not really bad for being 30 fps but still 60 fps looks more temptating.
Also, I still have very little hype with this game but i have registered first the title on PS4 version for my purchase planning. I will deliberate for the Switch version.
Physical release was delayed a week here but haven't been planning to start it right away anyway. Definitely looking forward to it as I really enjoyed the first game but I just finished a JRPG and feel the need to space them out a bit.
@Anti-Matter the Prince's Edition is on the PS4... for $79.99 on the PS Store.
I'll probably get this one later like I did the first one. Definitely on the Switch.
@progx
$80 for digital version ?? 😑
I still need to think a lot as my interest with this game is still very low as I knew about this game since from last year.
@Anti-Matter Worse yet, it's digital only on the PS4 and can only be purchased from the PS Store. In the US, it's called "The Deluxe Edition." The vanilla version is $59.99 digital as well. DLC will be regular price as well.
Physical release is limited to the Switch version, which is $20 cheaper for everything. Give it some time, it'll be discounted for probably around $30-40.
@progx
Is the DLC really worthy for me as casual gamer ?
As I found the PS4 version in physical release was way cheaper than Switch version + 60 fps, even without DLC I think it will be more than enough for me.
I still new with this game, never have big interest with No no Kuni games but I want to give a chance for both Ni no Kuni 1 + 2. But, I really want to play casually without got distracted by DLC as I don't really have interest to purchase DLC unless I really love the games.
@Anti-Matter if that's your bag, then go for it.
I'd rather wait for the Switch version to go down in price than get it on the PS. This game doesn't have any graphical advantages on the PS5, so playing on my couch or in bed without using the TV is a bigger advantage to me. Plus, taking it with me on trips as well.
The PS4 version goes on sale pretty often. I got the version with all the DLC cheap a while ago. I still bought it on Switch, though. Love having my games portable. I double dip a lot.
@BenAV Same here, will get it next Friday, but got plenty to play until then. Looking forward to this game though, loved the first one!
My copy was delivered today and I can’t wait to play it.
@Pokefanmum82 Can you let us know if a download is required please?
@GrailUK I will when I get it.
@Pokefanmum82 Ty
will get it when it goes on sale which is likely going to very often as well because Bandai is great when it comes to sales
I’ll definitely be picking this one up, probably in the new year. For now I want to finish a couple of games I have left hanging over.
I really enjoyed the first game so I will eventually buy this.
@GrailUK bought it during my lunch brake and apart from a small update, no download!
@ben12776 Thanks. mate
I have it both on Switch and Ps4. It looks absolutely stunning on PS4, however now that I have it on Switch, I’ll be much more likely to finish it since I do about 90% of my gaming handheld on Switch. There is some significant downscaling to the resolution on Switch, but the art style makes up for it. It’s kind of just like playing a slightly older game that has aged very well. It’s still a very lovely and fun game to play. If you sit in front of your PS4 and TV a lot, I recommend PS4 version. But if you’re like me, and are more likely to put the necessary hours for it in handheld mode on Switch, then get it on Switch.
