Studio Ghibli is the authority when it comes to wholesome family-friendly animated movies. The cult Japanese animation studio is most comparable to a Japanese version of Disney, by creating truly awe-inspiring movies that stay with viewers long after the curtains drop.

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch combines beautiful animated visuals, masterful storytelling, and a sweeping score to create an epic role-playing adventure like no other.

Thanks to their respectively much higher performance, PS4 & PC owners can look forward to an enhanced experience in form of higher resolutions and framerates.
