Get ready, Rune Factory fans! The highly anticipated latest entry in the beloved series, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, is set to hit the shelves on May 30, available for both Nintendo Switch and PC.
The unveiling of this new adventure came during a Nintendo Direct last August, and eager players can now secure their copies through preorder options.
Special Edition and Preorder Options
If you’re leaning toward a physical edition, Switch players have two choices to consider.
The Earth Dancer Limited Edition, which initially sold out, is back in stock at leading retailers like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.
Priced at $100, this special edition is a treasure trove of goodies, including a cute Woolby plush keychain, an art book, a soundtrack CD, a traditional Japanese folding fan, a DLC bundle entitled Seasons of Love, and exclusive box art that adds to its collector’s appeal.
For those who just want the game, a standard edition is available for $60.
Gameplay and Story Elements
Trailers and information released so far indicate that Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma will take the cherished blend of RPG and farming simulation to new heights.
Set against a backdrop steeped in Japanese folklore, players will don the role of an Earth Dancer—an enchanting martial artist tasked with reviving their surroundings.
Your journey will involve cultivating fertile farms, restoring bustling towns, completing various quests, and battling powerful foes to protect the land.

While awaiting this exciting release, fans of the franchise can dive into earlier titles, such as Rune Factory 5, along with remastered versions of Rune Factory 3 and 4, all accessible on the Nintendo Switch.
Additionally, players who revel in RPG and farming simulation blends may find joy in other games like Square Enix’s Harvestella as they count down the days to Guardians of Azuma.
