Sakuna arrives on mobile with the upcoming Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan

The game features Sakuna alongside a new companion named Hinuka

It maintains the beloved blend of adventure, combat, and meticulous rice farming

Regular readers (those who've been with us a while) might recall our 2020 coverage of the groundbreaking RPG Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. While initially skipped mobile platforms during our earlier focus on handheld gaming, the wait ends nearly five years later with its mobile debut!

The newly announced Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan brings this acclaimed title to smartphones. The original Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin follows the story of a pampered harvest goddess exiled to a demon-infested island as punishment. There, she must reconnect with nature, protect stranded humans, and cleanse the land of monsters.

Her journey centers around - you guessed it - cultivating rice! Far from a superficial mechanic, rice farming directly impacts combat performance in the game's side-scrolling battles against creatures from Japanese folklore.

New harvest, new adventure

Of Rice and Ruin captivated players worldwide, spawning both a popular manga adaptation and anime series that concluded last year. Now Sakuna: Hinuka Junreitan prepares to launch across iOS, Android, and consoles!

Current details remain scarce, though we know protagonist Sakuna will be joined by newcomer Hinuka. Fans can anticipate the return of deep rice cultivation mechanics along with fresh innovations. Stay tuned for updates both here and on the official website!
