During the August 2024 Indie World Showcase and Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, Marvelous shared an extended trailer and release window for the new Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma game. The game will be out in 2025, and we get to see what’s going on in the lands of Azuma ahead of its debut.
In this new Rune Factory game, our avatars ends up contracting with a dragon to become an Earth Dancer. There are two default protagonist options who each have their own connection to a dragon, and their names are Subaru and Kaguya. After an altercation between the two, the main character you choose wakes up with amnesia in front of the Dragon God descendent Woolby. You then farm, build up a village, go through dungeons, and then also build relationships with humans and gods you meet.
Here’s the official Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma trailer, which shows what’s going on with Subaru and Kaguya. We also get to see what combat looks like and how we’ll help restore villages and the land around us. This will also be a Rune Factory game where the amnesiac protagonists will eventually regain their memories as they go on their new adventures.
We also know there will be an Earth Dancer special edition. That will include a Switch copy of the game, along with physical items like a Woolby plush, soundtrack CD, art book, and fan. Digital content will be in there as well. You get some costumes and a Seasons of Love DLC. That will cost $99.99.
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma will come to the Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, and it has a 2025 release window.
