Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Announced For Nintendo Switch

XSEED Games today announced that Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is coming to Nintendo Switch this Winter.

About the game

This enthralling title from Edelweiss, the two-man team behind acclaimed indie darling Astebreed (2014 in North America and Europe), 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.

Created by Edelweiss and published in North America by XSEED Games, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is currently in development and will launch this winter.
