Marvelous and XSEED Games have continued their new free mini-manga series for the Rune Factory franchise.
Read from left to right; the second chapter highlights Mist from the first entry in the Rune Factory franchise interacting with the mascot, Wooly. It continues in the same eerily humorous tone from the first chapter of this new series.
You can read the second chapter below:
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma will be released in Spring 2025 for Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam.
The setting of Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma was revealed to be the titular Azuma, which occurs in the eastern lands that were struck by a terrible calamity known as the Celestial Collapse. The gods of nature vanished, causing the land to wither and the people to suffer from the Blight. Players will restore this land to its glory as an Earth Dancer.
The male and female protagonists were both highlighted, with the boy named Subaru and the other named Kaguya. They are both variations of Earthmates, who are Earth Dancers who save the world through dance. Parasols, drums, swords, and more will be usable alongside bows and talismans. To clarify, the parasols and drums are non-combat tools.
Players can also anticipate cultivating relationships with the locals, recruiting them to your side in combat, or helping them manage the villages across fully-voiced scenarios. Plus, romances will be available for gods and mortals. The general producer is Tsukuda Kenichiro, the Producer is Fujii Hisahi, and the Director is Maekawa Shiro.
