Rune Factory 3 A Fantasy Harvest Moon Coming Later This Year
Burlingame, Calif., June 8, in the
year of our Lord 2010 - Natsume Inc., a worldwide
developer and publisher of family-oriented video games,
announced today that Rune Factory 3: A Fantasy Harvest Moon will
be released for the Nintendo DS later this year. The Rune
Factory series combines the fun and rewarding gameplay of
Harvest Moon with the fantasy and excitement of an action-RPG,
offering Harvest Moon fans and traditional RPG players the best
of both worlds.
"We can't wait to give fans their first look at this title at
the upcoming E3 tradeshow," said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO
at Natsume. "This game has a powerful story, a compelling new
cast of characters, and a lot of exciting new features. It's the
best and deepest Rune Factory yet!"
The people of Sharance and their horned Univir neighbors are
embroiled in a bitter conflict. An age-old hatred between humans
and monsters divides them. Micah is an adventurer with an
unusual secret: he's half monster! He'll have to unite the
humans and the Univir in time to stop the growing evil force
that threatens to destroy them both!
Rune Factory 3 introduces a number of exciting new features to
the Rune Factory series: befriended villagers will now join you
in battle and lend you their unique skills, players can
transform the main character into his monster form to unleash a
savage new arsenal of fighting moves, and the game's new
multiplayer mode lets up to three players work together to
conquer unique dungeons packed with rare items and fearsome
monsters.
Rune Factory 3: A Fantasy Harvest Moon will make its first
public appearance at this month's E3 show in the Los Angeles
area and will ship to retail later this year.
