The game is in development for PC via Microsoft Store and Xbox Series X|S, with Netmarble Neo handling development. It was previously announced in August 2025 as Project Bloomwalker. Set in Luminoa, a world where humans and nature spirits once lived together, the story follows a traveler who purifies pollution with a moving house. The house travels from sanctuary to sanctuary and grows, gaining new functions. A Pocket Dimension inside the house lets players build, decorate, and craft with familiars and spirits. The trailer ends with a Level-5 copyright notice and the name Ni no Kuni. Netmarble Neo previously worked with Level-5 on Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, so the title may be related to the Ni no Kuni series.","whyItMatters":"The trailer's Level-5 and Ni no Kuni notices, plus Netmarble Neo's prior work on Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, suggest this new title may be tied to the Ni no Kuni series, though no source confirms the connection.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe new footage confirms the house walks on a two-legged mech mounted underneath it, carrying the player between sanctuaries.
