Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds Screenshots Highlight the Smartphone MMORPG’s Setting and Characters

Netmarble recently shared a batch of new screenshots for its upcoming smartphone MMORPG Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds. The images show more from the game’s story and characters set in the alternate world of Ni no Kuni.

In Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, you will get to select out of several character classes. However, the five starting character classes are actually players from their world who are beta testing a virtual reality game called “Soul Divers.” As the players progress through the game, they begin to realize that they’ve in fact been sent to an alternate world of Ni no Kuni, where they meet a mysterious woman known as Lania.

Lania talks to the players about fulfilling their destiny of rebuilding a fallen kingdom in order to face off against a menacing foe. This foe not only threatens Ni no Kuni but our world as well, as the two worlds are linked together.

Here’s a look at the five characters that you can play as, plus one mascot character:

Swordsman

Witch

Destroyer

Rogue

Engineer

Kuu

While the game is a smartphone title, the developers are putting work into bringing in the charm of the Ni no Kuni series through its beautifully depicted world and breathtaking sceneries. However, the developers also mention that the appearance isn’t the only thing that is in the works, as plenty of other content is being prepared for the title as well. We’ll learn more about those in a future update, including a special program at TGS 2020 on September 26, 2020.

Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds is set to launch for iOS and Android devices in 2020. Check here for the game’s first details on its story, characters, kingdom-building, and more from its announcement in November 2019.
