Are we getting a Ni No Kuni 3?

Not any time soon, I would say, as the developer Level-5 works on other projects, which you can look up from their Wikipedia page. What they do work on is Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds, which seems to be a spin-off on Android and iOS.

i 2nd this i played this on ps4 and i by no means beaten it but i found the bosses far to easy while other NPCs was far harder to fight and even the super NPCs u have to hunt for where stronger then the bosses i felt i gotten board of it after freeing the "iland" 1st 1 i felt had at lest 10 times voiced dailoge almost full and it just felt better and not the shallow army mini games i dont like.. this is not made by the same studio as the 1st u can easily tell. also it does not keep u ingaged i feel like the other did..

The game is made by the same studio, it just has no Studio Ghibli involvement and Level-5 is a mess.

It even has the same writer as the first game, Akihiro Hino. That is shocking to me. I have to guess that Ghibli had some say in the story direction, or the director was very heavily involved in story. Hino also wrote the terrible movie. So I can't imagine he just happened to write a great story with compelling characters and then... fails to ever do it again. I have to imagine others were involved in what worked with the first game and are the key to what has been missing in every subsequent Ni no Kuni release.

director:
Black Djinn/White Witch: Ken Motomura
Revanant Kingdom; Yoshiaki Kusuda and Takafumi Koukami

how ungrateful ppl sometimes. NNK IP is literally ONLY one with Ghibli art direction and such majestic vibe. yeah, NNK2 maybe worse than beautiful NNK1 but thats not a reason for "nah NNK series is dead for me now" AFTER ONE GAME.

no one know, but looks like Namco still not loose interest in NNK series, so maybe in 4-5 years(cus level 5 is busy for now) we will get NNK3, thankfully. there not so much such majestic JRPG nowadays, after all

This game is completely soulless in comparison to the first game. The movie is equally soulless. I bet the mobile game is going to be terrible too, and a cash grab. Level-5 needs to do better if they want to turn their studio around. They have had a rough go lately and games like this will not help fix it.

Nope, never level 5 said in an interview around October that they are now only focusing on japan. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2020-10-09-level-5-has-virtually-halted-operations-in-north-america
