Studio Ghibli has a relationship with the video game industry, whether it's simply a matter of influence, or as is the case with Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch, a direct partnership. It's newest film, Marnie Was There, is significant because there is a possibility it may be the studio's last film.[Excerpt]
The film released in Japan last year and is getting localized for North America this summer, which is what you will see in the trailer below.

The studio's most notable director, Hayao Miyazaki, retired recently after releasing The Wind Rises, and it currently has no other films in production as it pauses to re-assess its goals. It's unclear what's in store for the studio's future.
Alongside Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch, Studio Ghibli was also involved in the PlayStation 2 game Magic Pengel: The Quest for Color. Films like Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind also served as an important influence on elements of the Final Fantasy series (the airships, specifically). Castle in the Sky also influenced games like The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and most recently, Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy.
