Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Mobile Sequel Announced

Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is expanding with a new free-to-play title, *Hinuka Junreitan*, coming soon to mobile devices (Android, iOS) and PC via Steam. Developer TOHO Games, alongside Edelweiss and G2 Studios, formally announced the project today, marking a new chapter for the beloved franchise.

Following an initial teaser in November 2024, the game now has an official website and X (formerly Twitter) account. With these channels active, players can anticipate more frequent development updates and news, with a release date likely to be revealed in the near future.

Sakuna's signature blend of rice farming and action is coming to mobile

The original *Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin* launched in 2020 on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam. It uniquely combined precise platforming combat with an incredibly detailed rice cultivation system, creating a standout hybrid of action RPG and farming simulation.

The game's compelling folklore, tight combat, and immersive farming mechanics earned it widespread acclaim. Its success led to an anime adaptation, a manga series, and another spin-off game, *Sakuna Chronicles: Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation*, which remains in development by Edelweiss and Marvelous as a separate project.

*Hinuka Junreitan* will be structured specifically for mobile play, incorporating item-based microtransactions and live-service elements. Narratively, it will adapt the Sakuna universe into a more expansive, ongoing format designed for regular updates.

The original story follows Sakuna, a harvest goddess exiled from her celestial home. Gameplay involved a delicate balance: meticulously managing a paddy field while using a magical scarf to swing through levels and battle demons.

A core mechanic tied the protagonist's growth directly to the quality of rice harvested. Fans are eager to discover how these unique systems will be translated and what new features will be added for the mobile experience.
