Marvelous Europe has announced that pre-orders for the Rune Factory 5 Digital and Digital Deluxe versions are now open.
The Rune Factory 5 Digital Deluxe Edition (£59.99/€69.99) will include a digital copy of the game and The Rune Factory 4 Marriage Candidates Outfits Set. Those that pre-order either the Digital or Digital Deluxe Edition on the Nintendo eShop will also receive The Holy Knight and the Bibliophile Swimsuit Set – which is based on Forte and Kiel’s beach outfits from Rune Factory 4 – as well as the New Ranger Care Package Item Pack.
In Rune Factory 5, you will once again have the chance to set off on a grand adventure in a fantasy world. After losing their memory, you land in a small town blessed by nature where you are recruited into a band of peacekeeping rangers.
As your new life begins, in addition to your normal duties you will be able to farm the land, cast a line into the nearby river or team up with the townsfolk to battle monsters – unleashing powerful combination attacks to topple mightier enemies.
The publisher has outlined the game’s features below:
- Fast-paced action RPG combat: Venture into the vast, vibrant wilderness with friends from Rigbarth by your side to unlock powerful and stylish link attacks that encourage teamwork and strategy.
- Forge friendships and find love: Forge friendships, fall in love and even marry the townsfolk who live and work alongside you in Rigbarth, including same-sex marriage for the first time in the series.
- Relaxing life simulation gameplay: Take time out of your adventure to enjoy the gentler pace of town life. Compete in cooking, crafting, and fishing contests or invite your sweetheart to join you for stargazing during one of Rigbarth’s many seasonal festivals.
- Fantasy farming taken to new heights: Grow a wide variety of crops in the field or on a dragon’s back and tame monsters to serve as your helpful farmhands.
Rune Factory 5 will release at retail and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch across North America on 22nd March and in Europe on 25th March 2022.
