<p>Around the halfway mark of the recent Nintendo Direct presentation, it was revealed the Rune Factory franchise was making a return. This brief segment included the announcement of <strong><a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/nintendo-switch/rune_factory_4_special">Rune Factory 4 Special</a></strong>, arriving later this year on the Switch, and <strong>Rune Factory 5</strong> – with more information about this new entry to be revealed soon.</p>
<p>At the time, no release date for the fifth game was provided. While it’s unlikely we’ll get a definitive date any time soon, the <a class="external" href="https://www.marv.jp/special/game/runefactory5/">teaser website</a> has now confirmed a 2020 launch while noting the Nintendo Switch as the platform (if it wasn’t already evident). We expect this next outing will be much like past entries such as <strong><a class="external" href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/3ds/rune_factory_4">Rune Factory 4</a></strong>, which included a combination of fantasy farming and action role-playing gameplay, with some dating simulation elements on the side.</p>
