XSEED Opens Rune Factory 5 Pre-Orders with Incentives

Rune Factory 5 is releasing on March 22^nd. I am very excited for the latest entry in the franchise, and I think it might be able to stand up to Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town as a premiere farming sim. Now, thanks to an announcement by XSEED Games, we know that pre-orders are open for the game, and have some cool incentives.

According to the press release: “The game is available for pre-order for $59.99 for the standalone version of the game, and $69.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition containing additional content. All digital pre-orders will also include the bonus “The Holy Knight and the Bibliophile Swimsuit Set + New Ranger Care Package Item Pack” for free. This DLC will be made available for separate purchase for $1.99 beginning Apr. 26.

As an added bonus, players with Rune Factory 4 Special save data on their Nintendo Switch™ will unlock additional DLC outfits and see some familiar faces from Rune Factory 4 Special appear in their town in Rune Factory 5! Additionally, XSEED Games revealed today that players will be able to explore the world of Rune Factory 5 with both English and Japanese audio languages and text in English, French, and German.”

The wait is almost over folks! I’m super hyped, and I hope that the characters from Rune Factory 4 that appear are some of the more fun faces. I’ll have to download my save data for Rune Factory 4 to get all that extra content!
