Rune Factory 5[1] is an upcoming role-playing simulation video game being developed by Marvelous. The first entry in the Rune Factory series since 2012's Rune Factory 4, it is planned to be released for the Nintendo Switch in 2020.
Development
Following the success of Rune Factory 4, series producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto commented that the development of a sequel was expected.[2] However, after Rune Factory developer Neverland Co. declared bankruptcy in 2013, the future of the series was left uncertain.[3] In 2014, Marvelous AQL stated that they had hired former Rune Factory developers, including Hashimoto, to develop Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven. The game was announced during a Nintendo Direct in February 2019, and is planned to be released for the Nintendo Switch in 2020.[4][5]
