Netmarble and developer Netmarble Neo have expanded Bloomwalker, their cozy crafting adventure, with PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Nintendo Switch versions alongside the previously announced Xbox Series and PC (Steam, Microsoft Store) builds — and confirmed the game is set in LEVEL-5’s Ni no Kuni universe. Gematsu reported the multiplat add and universe hook on September 17, 2026; the same day’s Xbox Wire TGS recap also nods to the title’s TGS trailer window. A release date was not announced (Gematsu lists date TBA).
Moving house, familiars, higgledies
Netmarble’s overview (via Gematsu): travel with a moving house and restore a tainted world. Build and tend a pocket dimension beyond the door, and breathe new life into the fallen world of Luminoa alongside artisan friends, familiars, and the little spirits known as higgledies — a clear Ni no Kuni franchise signature.
Luminoa’s sanctuaries have been ravaged by pollution; guardians who once protected them have succumbed to madness as incarnations of that pollution. You move house from sanctuary to sanctuary, stop at resource-rich anchorages, and grow the house’s appearance and functionality as it helps cleanse pollution. Inside the pocket dimension, familiars and higgledies eat, sleep, and work. Friendship with familiars unlocks new formulas and facilities; crafting is cooperative — higgledies gather materials that become tools for restoring villages and gifts that deepen bonds.
