XSeed Games has revealed the follow-up to Edelweiss’ 2020 hit hybrid RPG and farming simulator Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. The new game will be a spin-off centered on Princess Kokorowa and is titled Sakuna Chronicles: Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation.

The announcement was accompanied by a teaser trailer, showcasing the premise of the game and its lead characters, Princess Kokorowa, the Goddess of Invention, and an automaton named Takebina. As of now there is no release window or confirmation about what systems the game will be releasing on.

You can view the trailer below:

The new game takes place after the events of Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, and centers on the spreading of automaton technology and Princess Kokorowa’s role as the Goddess of Invention on a brand new adventure. No mention is made if characters from Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin will appear in the sequel apart from Lady Kamuhitsuki who is shown in the announcement trailer.

Publisher XSeed Games recently restructured its publishing responsibilities alongside Marvelous. In August 2024, both Marvelous and XSeed shared plans as to what this would mean for future endeavors going forward. This included what games would be published under each branch.

Sakuna Chronicles: Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation is in development by Edelweiss and will be published by XSeed Games.
