Studio Ghibli Make PS3 RPG Game!

Studio Ghibli, the geniuses behind movies such as Ponyo and Spirited Away, are hard at work producing a game! They’ve teamed up with the hugely talented guys at Level-5 (Dark Cloud, Dragon Quest VIII, Professor Layton) to create The Another World, an RPG title appearing on both DS and PlayStation 3. The PS3 version is noted for looking, to use a technical term, really fucking awesome. Squint a bit and you might as well be watching a Ghibli movie.

The story, too, is classic Ghibli. A young boy loses his mother early in life, and the doll she gifted to him comes to life and gives him a magic book which spirits him away (pardon the pun there) to a parallel universe like his own. In this world, he might be able to revive his mother.
