by

In the realm of farming simulation games, it’s undeniable that the luster of Stardew Valley remains vibrant. Despite the passage of time, the game continues to garner recognition in 2025, such as being the most-played game on Steam Deck in July. However, even diehard Stardew Valley enthusiasts might yearn for a change from time to time. Enter a newly unveiled free-to-play game that could satisfy your farming sim cravings, offering an engaging RPG element as well.

In the year 2020, Edelweiss and Marvelous USA introduced the captivating game titled “Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin“. This unique blend of side-scrolling RPG and farming simulation has garnered a Mostly Positive rating on Steam and a small yet devoted fanbase. The game was so well-received, it even led to the creation of an anime adaptation. Despite its initial $29.99 price tag, which some might find expensive for a new cozy game, it remains popular. Fortunately, Edelweiss and Marvelous are planning to release a fresh installment in the series, offering a free-to-play experience.

Initially, Marvelous unveiled plans for a mobile installment in the series way back in 2024. However, it’s now been officially disclosed that Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan will be available on both PC and mobile platforms. This free-to-play game is a blend of farming simulation and RPG elements, with a teaser site providing initial information about this fresh addition to the gaming world.

What We Know About the Mobile Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Game So Far

There’s still a lot that remains unknown about the latest installment in the Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin series, but we do have some details. It will be developed by TOHO Games and Edelweiss, with G2 Studios handling production. The genre is described as a blend of rice farming simulation, exploration, and RPG elements on the official website, which aligns well with the characteristics of the first game. For fans of Stardew Valley who also enjoy delving into mines as well as farming, this game seems quite promising.

It’s been announced that the game titled “Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan” will be available for free on Android, iOS, and Windows through Steam. Unfortunately, the teaser site doesn’t reveal much beyond introducing the protagonist, Sakuna, in a fresh costume and presenting Hinuka, the new character. At this point, that’s about all we have to work with.

The game additionally launched a fresh official platform on X, offering gamers tantalizing glimpses of upcoming previews. At present, an English-speaking official account does not seem to exist, leaving some ambiguity about whether the mobile and PC game will debut simultaneously worldwide or if it may initially be limited to certain regions.

As a dedicated gamer, I’m excited to share that one of the projects connected to “Sakuna: Rice and Ruin” is a follow-up spin-off titled “Sakuna Chronicles: Kokrowa and the Gears of Creation.” Marvelous Inc. announced this intriguing addition to the series earlier, and from what I gather, it’s still under development. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed for more updates on this captivating new chapter in the Sakuna universe!

A specific launch date for “Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan” hasn’t been announced as of now, but we can expect updates shortly since both the official website and X account have recently been unveiled.
