Stardew Valley stans, this one's for us – Shinichi Manabe and Takanori Tsuji, both of whom worked on Rune Factory 3 and 4, are teaming up to develop a brand-new farming sim RPG mashup with enchanting "fairy-tale inspirations" and cozy gameplay.
Manabe, who directed Rune Factory 4 and worked as the lead programmer for Rune Factory 3, is heading Farnia Village alongside Tsuji – who designed the narrative on both Neverland games himself. Farnia Village, much like Rune Factory, takes the usual cozy farming and life sim genres and blends them with action-packed RPG elements. Think dungeons, ruins, and formidable foes lining the walls of a villainous queen's castle.
