Rune Factory 5 is the latest title in the Bokujō Monogatari spin-off series and combines the parent series’ farming sim elements with action RPG combat and exploration. Players control an amnesiac protagonist who ends up in a small nature-surrounded town. They elect to join the town guard — known as Seed — to help protect the peace, spending their time adventuring with companions, growing crops on the farm, fishing, and building relationships with the townspeople. The game will release for Nintendo Switch on March 22, 2022, in North America and on March 25, 2022, in Europe.
