The latest installment in the Sakuna universe, Hinuka Junreitan, will launch as a free-to-play title for Android, iOS, and Steam. Developer trio TOHO Games, Edelweiss, and G2 Studios announced this mobile-optimized spinoff today.
New Chapter Expands Beloved Franchise
First hinted at in November 2024, the project has now officially unveiled its website and Twitter presence, signaling more frequent updates ahead. Fans eagerly await confirmation of the release window.
The mobile adaptation promises to bring Sakuna's signature blend of rice cultivation and dynamic combat to handheld devices, though redesigned for shorter play sessions.
Rebuilding A Cult Classic For Mobile
Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin originally launched in 2020 across PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and PC, blending intricate farming mechanics with side-scrolling action. Its unique formula spawned animated adaptations and another spinoff currently in development.
Hinuka Junreitan will reimagine the experience with mobile-first design, including gacha mechanics and live-service features while expanding the franchise's lore through ongoing narrative updates.
The original story followed Sakuna, a agricultural goddess balancing divine crop cultivation with magical scarf-based combat. Player progression directly tied to rice quality - a novel system that became the game's hallmark.
