One of the highlights of Marvelous’ presentation today was the official unveiling of a new game with a previous title Rune Factory: Project Dragon. Rune Factory 6 was also announced along with it.
This new spin-off of the fantasy lifestyle series is set in an “Oriental country with a Japanese aesthetic” – a brand new experience for the series. Project Dragon is executive produced by Kenichiro Tsukuda, produced by Fuji Hisashi, and directed by Shiro Maekawa. Here’s a little about it from the director of the series:
“Players were never able to visit these lands, as the games only vaguely mentioned that such a place existed. Still! Players will finally be able to explore this eastern land!”
“In Project Dragon, the adventure will take place in a completely new setting with characters and scenery designed in a Japanese style… we are going to provide an experience unique from the main series, expanding on familiar elements such as your daily – everyday life, adventures and romantic pursuits.. . dragons will be important to the story”
You can see footage of the Rune Factory: Project Dragon trailer around the 21-minute mark in the video above.
As for Rune Factory 6, it’s obviously the next major entry in the fantasy lifestyle series, with a new adventure set in the western continent of Adonai. The logo is all that has been shown so far:
Platforms and release dates for these games have yet to be announced, so stay tuned for updates in the future.
