Sakuna combines farming and platforming with RPG elements and was very first displayed back at E3 2017. Heres how Xseed describes the games setup and world.

” Players handle the role of Sakuna, a spoiled harvest goddess eliminated to an unsafe island with a group of castaway people. As she explores the beautiful yet prohibiting environments of the island, she will likewise discover a home in a mountain village, showing herself worthy of her title by gathering rice and bettering the lives of humanity.”
Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin has remained in development for 5 years, and after a hold-up, it appears players will soon be able to farm, dive and fight as a goddess later this year.

According to a news release from publisher Xseed, Sakuna will be launched on November 10 internationally on PC and on that date in North America for the Switch and PS4. A Japanese console release will follow on the 12th and itll be out in Europe on the 20th.

The best-looking game in todays Nintendo Direct Mini might have been the action-platformer-farming (!) game Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin, however you wouldnt have actually seen it if you were watching the North American variation of the Direct. It wasnt in there. In Japan, however, it kicked off the presentation. Its uncertain why that is, because the beautiful-looking video game is coming out in North America this year, too.
