Professor Layton and Ni no Kuni developer Level 5 is about to open their first office in the West. Level 5 International America will open their doors this September.
Level 5 is set on bringing Inazuma Eleven to Europe, but haven’t said anything official about North America. Seems like Level 5 is laying the foundation to bring the DS game here, though.
Astounding then, that an up and coming publisher like Level-5 — far from the 320-pound* gorillas like Square Enix and Capcom — could not only introduce two new IPs in Japan in these past three years, but also successfully spin them off into other forms of media.
