Before today, the developer has been extremely cagey about the game before today, only providing small glimpses of what was to come.

Finally, we get to see exactly what the game looks like and take a look at the characters.

Of course, the familiar JRPG-meets-live/farming simulator mechanics are back, and you can still choose a male or female hero, while finding a mate to settle with.

We also get to take a look at what appears to be an animated opening cutscene providing a different look at the cast.

There’s fishing, a new battle system featuring combo attacks, and a massive airship with integrated orchard.

The game doesn’t yet have a release date, but we know it’ll come to Nintendo Switch in 2021.

You can check out the trailer below and see if it gets you excited for this new Rune Factory game.

If you’re interested in the series and don’t want to wait, Rune Factory 4 Special (also for Nintendo Switch) has recently hit the shelves.

It’ll unlock some bonuses for Rune Factory 5 when it launches, so may as well get a head start.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
