Ever since its original release on the Nintendo 3DS, and up to its updated re-release on the Switch, Rune Factory 4 has been exclusive to Nintendo systems. This December, that's all changing, as XSEED and Marvelous will be bringing the game to a new set of platforms. Rune Factory 4 Special will release on PlayStation 4, Steam/PC, and Xbox One, with its locked-in release date set for December 7th. It'll be priced at $29.99 and comes with the Another Episode DLC bundled in for free. If you haven't yet had the chance to play Rune Factory 4 Special, you can see our editorial team's thoughts on the game, in our GBAtemp Recommends article.

You don't even need to like farming games to enjoy this one. It is a great game, period.

That said, this thing take time, lots of time, so portability is valuable (yes, outside Nintendo borders, the deck will be the better option IMO).

Better than 5 after Xseed rewrote characters for the west

I don't agree with either statement, period.

After delaying 5 two times (one year worth each), this feels more like a slap in the face than an actual good thing.

This game is so good that it'll make all other farming sim games total trash by comparison.

 

[Shenrai]

Highly recommend. It will drain about 100-200 hours of your life.

Launching this one while they crap 5 with that "localization" they're doing. Let's hope it's just a port from the switch version and not a craplization.

I was just looking at the XSEED website a few trying to find a release date.. Super hyped. Physical hopefully.
