Hello, everyone! I’m Saori from Otaku Republic!

Today! Two traditional games that could be called the originators of slow-life games have reached their anniversaries! And in the commemorative broadcast celebrating this... new titles were actually announced~!

Recently, Marvelous, the game company developing the Bokujou Monogatari and Rune Factory series, held a commemorative live stream! Looking back at the history of the Bokujou Monogatari and Rune Factory series so far, the production of new titles for both series was announced at the end of the broadcast!

The development of the latest title in the Bokujou Monogatari series itself had been announced back in 2023, with “experience” as the keyword and a focus on farm and nature depiction! ...While there had been no news since then, solid gameplay footage was finally revealed here! It seems like a life not only surrounded by nature, but also in a place overlooking the sea, so you can literally enjoy various experiences!

For the Rune Factory series, “Rune Factory 6,” which was announced to be in development in 2023, has officially kicked off! This is a luxurious series where you can enjoy farm work like in Bokujou Monogatari, but also battle elements such as swords and magic! Both boast a long history, so you can fully enjoy their charm, and choosing which title to buy based on whether you want farm management or a slow life with battles makes it very rewarding to choose!

In the financial results documentation, there was a comment stating, “We want to actively promote these two titles in the future, including merchandise development”! The game release will likely be in 2027, but new merchandise will probably start rolling out from 2026, don’t you think? Please be sure to check out the latest information on these two titles, which can be called the monumental achievements of slow-life games!
