Nippon Ichi Software ist am besten bekannt für ihre Strategie-Rollenspiele wie Disgaea aber im letzten Jahr hatten sie für die PlayStation 3 ein Action-RPG namens The Witch and the Hundred Knight angekündigt.

Vor einiger Zeit hatte der Konzern angekündigt, das Spiel für die PlayStation 4 einer Frischzellenkur zu unterziehen. Bisher war The Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival nur für Japan bestätigt, doch nun hat NISA bestätigt, dass auch westliche Spieler in den Genuss der neuen Version kommen werden. Demnach soll der Port schon am 4. März sowohl digital als auch im Handel für 39,99 Euro erscheinen.

Weitere Informationen zu The Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival bekommt ihr in dem Ausschnitt der offiziellen Pressemitteilung nach dem Debüt-Trailer.

About the game:
Fed up with being unable to travel beyond the borders of her swamp, the witch Metallia forges a contract with the legendary Hundred Knight to help her realize her ambition of spreading her swamp throughout all of Medea. As the Hundred Knight, your mission is to do whatever your master, the Swamp Witch, commands. Explore the world, destroy Pillars built to prevent her swamp from spreading, and wreak indiscriminate havoc. However, in the back of your inhuman mind, you begin to wonder... What prevents Metallia from leaving the swamp? Why do the other witches shun her, and how can she survive in a swamp that is notorious for how poisonous its fumes are? Is Metallia really a witch to respect, or is she one to fear?

New Features:
Shiny New Graphics—Using the power of the PlayStation®4, these swampy lands have been updated with new textures, lighting, and models.
The Tower of Illusion—A brand new area will allow you to offer up your favorite weapons to battle foes whose strength is determined by the strength of the sacrificed weapon. This new area will enable you to acquire powerful new loot.
Be the Witch!—Entering the Tower of Illusion and collecting Concentrated Mana will enable you to summon and play as Metallia for the first time ever!
Alchemy—You might not be making gold, but you can now upgrade your weapons using catalysts from the Tower of Illusion to increase their ATK, DEF, and more!
