Netmarble has announced Bloomwalker, a cosy adventure crafting title set within the Ni no Kuni universe, and confirmed the game will appear on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 with a release date listed as TBD.
The studio released a trailer that highlights the game’s visuals and gameplay focus, positioning Bloomwalker as a laid-back exploration and crafting experience for fans of the franchise.
Bloomwalker arrives under the stewardship of Netmarble, the South Korean developer and publisher best known for mobile and online games.
The company’s announcement frames the project as a slice-of-life entry in the Ni no Kuni setting, emphasizing crafting, exploration and a relaxed pace rather than a traditional action-RPG structure.
In journalistic terms, Netmarble’s promotional materials describe Bloomwalker as “a cosy adventure crafting game” rooted in the Ni no Kuni universe and list both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 among its target platforms, with the release date to be determined.
The trailer accompanying the announcement underscores an art direction the studio says draws inspiration from Studio Ghibli’s aesthetic, echoing the franchise’s established visual lineage.
That lineage is notable: the Ni no Kuni franchise was created by Level-5, and Studio Ghibli contributed animation work to the original Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, establishing a connection between the series and Ghibli’s distinct visual style.
Netmarble’s Bloomwalker appears to invoke that same warm, hand-crafted look in its promotional footage.
Netmarble has not provided a firm release window or detailed platform rollout, beyond listing both Switch platforms.
No pricing, eShop availability details, or physical release plans have been announced at this time.
Fans and industry observers should expect further updates via Netmarble’s official channels and Nintendo’s communications.
Bloomwalker’s announcement adds a new entry to the broader Ni no Kuni family and signals Netmarble’s intent to expand into console-oriented, narrative and crafting-focused experiences.
While concrete launch information remains pending, the trailer and the studio’s summary establish Bloomwalker as a distinct, genre-blending project aimed at players who appreciate exploration, worldbuilding, and the franchise’s signature visual sensibility.
