Today XSEED Games released a new trailer of the indie darling game Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.
The trailer gives a new look at the world and story of the game, which looks absolutely charming.
On top of the trailer, a large batch of Switch gameplay was showcased during Nintendo’s Treehouse live coverage from E3 2019, showcasing a much more extensive look at the game.
We also get a taste of the English voice acting, but if you’d rather play in Japanese, that option is offered as well.
You can enjoy the videos below.
If you’re not familiar with the game (not surprisingly, since there has been a long silence), here’s an official description:
“Developed by Edelweiss, the two-man team behind acclaimed indie darling Astebreed, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin combines side-scrolling action with deep crafting and farming simulation. Players take on the role of Sakuna, a spoiled harvest goddess banished to a dangerous island with a group of outcast humans.
As she explores the beautiful, forbidding environments of the island, she will also find a home in a mountain village, proving herself worthy of her title by harvesting rice and bettering the lives of humans. In addition to being a fresh take on Japanese mythology and a love letter to action games, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is an ode to rice and an engrossing simulation of the craft behind the agriculture.”
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, that we recently learned is coming to Nintendo Switch on top of PS4 and PC, will be released in the west this winter.
