JAPAN: N3II dated

The official Ninety-Nine Nights II website has confirmed that the hack ‘n’ slash sequel, or N3II to use its abbreviation, will be released in Japan on Xbox 360 this spring.

Unlike the first game which was a first party Xbox 360 title, Konami has stepped in to handle publishing duties for the sequel.

There’s also been a change in development duties, with Microsoft-affiliated Japanese studio Feelplus stepping in to fill the role vacated by the first game’s joint developer Phantagram. Mizuguchi’s Q Entertainment also remains involved.

There’s still no official date for the UK and Europe.
