MarvelousAQL to release Rune Factory® 4 in Europe in Spring 2014
Tunbridge Wells (Tuesday 1st October 2013) MAQL Europe, the European division of Japanese publisher MarvelousAQL, are pleased to announce that Rune Factory 4 for Nintendo 3DS™ will be making its way to Europe in Spring 2014.
Published by MAQL Europe and localised by XSEED Games, Rune Factory 4, will be released in Europe in partnership with Zen United.
Rune Factory 4 combines the farming elements the series is renowned for, with classic action-JRPG elements in a stunning fantasy setting.
Taking place in the Kingdom of Norad, players must take on the role of Prince or Princess and bring prosperity back to the picturesque town of Selphia.
Tend to your farm and find romance among the town's singles before setting off into the wilderness and surrounding dungeons to defeat or tame monsters. It's a mix of play styles that has garnered Rune Factory well-earned praise from both fans and critics alike.
Rune Factory 4 promises to be the biggest in the series to date. Boasting hundreds of items, crops, weapons and equipment to find and grow, as well as a substantial story and rich characters to enjoy - there has never been a better time to discover this superb JRPG series.
Please look forward to more Rune Factory announcements in the coming months.
Rune Factory 4 is scheduled for release in Spring 2014
