Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin characters will appear as free launch-day DLC characters in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. This information first appeared during the official stream to commemorate how pre-orders are open for the latest Rune Factory game. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
The information comes near the end of the stream, which shows Sakuna and Tama sitting outside a house before running to help with the rice fields. It then ends with a shot of Sakuna looking out over the village. The stream did not provide any further information on the Sakuna and Tama DLC in Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma. However, as this is free DLC, you don’t actually need to add them to your game if you don’t want to see them.
Other information that Edelweiss revealed in the stream include new romanceable characters Pilika and Cuilang, as well as information on village management and combat. In total, there are sixteen possible characters to romance—the most in a Rune Factory game—and all of the scenes are fully voiced. Aside from romantic scenes, you can also hang out with them in everyday situations. The game also includes same-sex marriages, as well as marriages between the protagonists. Heterosexual marriages may also results in children.
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma will come out on May 30, 2025 for the Nintendo Switch and Windows PC via Steam.
