The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 will likely have a different story

Dengeki PlayStation this week features an interview with Nippon Ichi Software president Sohei Niikawa and The Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival director Tomoya Asano, who discuss the lack of a PS Vita version, the game’s new elements, and the newly confirmed sequel.

Get the quotes below.

Regarding The Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival Not Being on PS Vita

Niikawa: “Actually, we tested it with Vita and PS4. For Vita, it became clear that there was a considerable amount of labor required, resulting in processing slowdowns and other such problems. But it went well on PS4, so we decided on that.”

New Controls and Elements

Asano: “Players can now control Metallia. And because the button layout has changed, we’re rethinking the control environment. There’s also touchpad support. Also, in the previous game, you could only equip a one-pattern weapon, but now there are three slots.”

Regarding The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2

Niikawa: “Specifics have not been decided, but since Metallia’s story is fully completed, we’re thinking about a different story. As for Revival, I want to incorporate fan requests and feedback as much as possible.”

Is The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2 for PlayStation 4?

Niikawa: “Revival is for PlayStation 4, so we are planning to release 2 in that manner, as well.”

The Witch and the Hundred Knight Revival is due out for PlayStation 4 in Japan on September 2.

Thanks, Hachima Kikou.
