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.
