Level 5 has released a brand new update for Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom. According to the patch notes, this latest update adds two new difficulty modes (Hard and Expert), adds new equipment skills and addresses various other game balance issues and minor bugs.
Going into slightly more details about the new difficulty modes, players can now choose how hard they want their challenge to be when they select “New Game” from the title screen, or by entering the in-game options menu at any time. The higher the setting, the harder the battles will be, but this will be offset by rarer treasures from monsters, from the chests in the Faraway Forest, and certain other places.
As always, Steam will download this update the next time you launch its client, and below you can find its complete changelog.
