Silent Hope Day 1 Edition and Rune Factory Ties Revealed

Following the June 2023 Nintendo Direct reveal of Silent Hope, also known as Frederica in Japan, its ties to Rune Factory and Day 1 collector’s edition were revealed. It turns out the game is a spin-off set in the same world. The official confirmation even called people’s attention to Woolies appearing in both games. As for the limited edition, it will be sold at XSEED Games Store and other stores.

In the first trailer, people can see some of the Rune Factory elements. For example, since each hero also has a job tied to actions from that series, you can see those behaviors there. There’s a farm with crops like turnips, pineapples, and tomatoes. The ranching section featured cows and chickens that resembled ones from the Story of Seasons series. There are also crafting elements. The Woolies appear in the dungeon portion.

Here’s the trailer, as a reminder.

As for the Silent Hope Day 1 collector’s edition, it will cost $49.99. That’s $10 more than a standard copy. In addition to a physical copy of the Switch game, it also gives people an art book and soundtrack CD.

Here’s how that looks

Silent Hope will come to the Nintendo Switch and PC on October 3, 2023, and the Day 1 collector’s edition will be available while supplies last.
