XSeed Games Confirms Release Date for Rune Factory 4
Torrance, Calif.,
(September 12, in the year of our Lord 2013) – XSEED
Games, the independent-minded console publishing brand of
Marvelous USA, Inc., today announced that the RPG simulation
adventure title Rune Factory 4 will release on October 1, 2013
for the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system in North America. The
title will be available both packaged and digitally on
Nintendo’s eShop for a MSRP of $39.99.
Rune Factory 4 is a fantasy life simulation game that combines
farming and resource management with classic RPG dungeon
adventuring. For the first time in series history, Rune Factory
4 gives players the option to play as a male or female hero. As
the newly-appointed prince or princess, players fulfill royal
duties of fulfilling requests from townsfolk, or taking a more
rural approach to governing by harvesting their own fruits and
vegetables to help out in other ways. The prince or princess can
woo marriage candidates from among the townsfolk. Communication
and gift giving will be key to romance, potentially resulting in
marriage and perhaps even a child. Players will be aided in
dungeon adventuring by the castle’s vast armament of swords,
spears, and staffs along with magical Rune abilities in battle
against dangerous foes, and can even be supported by a companion
or tamed friendly monsters.
Rune Factory 4 was developed in Japan by Neverland Co. and
MarvelousAQL Inc., and will be released by XSEED Games in North
America for the Nintendo 3DS on October 1, 2013.
