- Sakuna makes its mobile debut with the upcoming Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan
- This new installment introduces Hinuka, Sakuna's fresh companion
- The game maintains its signature blend of action-packed adventure and serene rice farming
Longtime followers (and I mean truly dedicated ones) might recall the groundbreaking RPG Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin that launched back in 2020. Though initially skipping mobile platforms during an era when we covered more handheld titles, the game is now making its triumphant return - this time directly to your smartphone!
The newly announced Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan brings the agricultural goddess to mobile devices. For newcomers, the original game followed spoiled harvest deity Sakuna as she's exiled to a demon-infested island as punishment for her arrogance. There, she must regain her connection with nature, lead human survivors, and purify the land of monstrous threats.
Her primary tool for redemption? You guessed right - rice cultivation! As we highlighted originally, this goes beyond mere gameplay padding. The quality of your rice harvest directly impacts Sakuna's combat prowess during side-scrolling battles against Japanese mythological beasts.
A new harvest
Of Rice and Ruin captivated players' imaginations so thoroughly it spawned successful manga and anime adaptations, with the latter concluding just last year. Now its successor Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan prepares to launch simultaneously on mobile and consoles!
While details remain scarce, we know Sakuna will be joined by newcomer Hinuka. Expect refined rice-growing mechanics, fresh adventures, and innovative gameplay systems when it arrives on iOS and Android. Stay tuned for updates both here and on the official website!
