Konami today announced it will publish Q Entertainment’s hack-n-slash RPG follow-up Ninety-Nine Nights II in Europe, confirming a spring release for the title.

It’s also scheduled for a spring debut in Japan, where Microsoft themselves are handling publishing duties.

Seasoned with a darker theme than the first, N3 II maintains its focus as a combat-centric franchise, pitting players against “hundreds of enemy creatures on screen simultaneously.” Players can ravage war under the guise of a variety of playable characters, each of which represent a particular race, including the likes of humans, elves and goblins.
