XSEED Games and Edelweiss have announced that Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is now available on Nintendo Switch.
From the two-man team behind Astebreed, the game combines side-scrolling action with crafting and farming simulation.
You play as Sakuna, a spoiled harvest goddess banished to a dangerous island with a group of outcast humans. As she explores the beautiful, forbidding environments of the island, she will also find a home in a mountain village, proving herself worthy of her title by harvesting rice and bettering the lives of humans.
In addition to being a fresh take on Japanese mythology and a love letter to action games, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is an ode to rice and an engrossing simulation of the craft behind the agriculture.
“Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin has been in development for over 5 years, and we couldn’t have done it without our partners at XSEED Games and Marvelous, Inc. supporting our artistic vision,” explain Edelweiss game director Nal and CG artist Koichi.
“We’re grateful for the positive support we’ve received from media and fans and hope that Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin meets their expectations.”
XSEED Games executive vice president Kenji Hosoi adds: “It’s been an honor to be a part of Edelweiss’ journey in bringing Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin to launch. We’ve had incredible support from our platform partners, fans, and critics alike and are overjoyed to be able to share Sakuna’s world with the public now.”
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is now available for Nintendo Switch in North America and will release in Europe, Australia and New Zealand on 20th November 2020.
