Netmarble officially announced Bloomwalker, a craft adventure game, and released a new trailer during the Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2026 Broadcast on September 17. 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.
The new footage confirms the house walks on a two-legged mech mounted underneath it, carrying the player between sanctuaries. The world is Luminoa, where humans and the spirits called Oddling once coexisted, and a meteor fall spread contaminated land. The player is a Bloomwalker who heals the land and travels with small spirits called Hunya.
The story opens from a losing position: the sanctuaries were corrupted by pollution and the Guardians who protected them went mad, becoming incarnations of the pollution. The game's stated theme is not survival but the joy of reviving a ruined world, restoring lost colors, life, and spirits rather than destroying what stands in the way.
Building happens in the Pocket Dimension, where construction, facilities, and decoration are joined by crafting with familiars and spirits. Crafting feeds village reconstruction, housing construction, and gifts that deepen bonds with companions.
- Studio: Netmarble Neo, which also made The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross and Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, and more recently Solo Leveling: ARISE OVERDRIVE for PC and consoles.
- Platforms: PC via Microsoft Store and Xbox Series X|S.
Automaton dates the official announcement to August 21. In the trailer, alongside the Level-5 rights notice, the text "LEVEL 5 Ni no Kuni" appears.
