Rune Factory 5 DLC Steam Page Appears; Potential July 2022 Release Date, Screenshots

A Steam Page for the recently released Rune Factory 5 has appeared, housing DLC of past Rune Factory game outfits. For those unaware, no official announcement regarding a non-Nintendo Switch release has occurred, so this is likely a preemptive listing. Additionally, the DLC has a July 13, 2022, release date, possibly implying that the title may launch at that time.

This set contains the following outfits from past games in the Rune Factory series:

• Rune Factory Outfits: Raguna and Mist
• Rune Factory 2 Outfits: Kyle and Mana
• Rune Factory 3 Outfits: Micah and Shara

UPDATE: The store page is no longer viewable.

Screenshots have also been added, viewable below:

Thanks to Gematsu for spotting this.

Rune Factory 5 takes the series to new heights as it opens the world through various means of exploration. Players can run through dungeons, fight monsters, and meet new characters from a new 3D perspective. Typically, these games are played with an over-the-top view of the town and characters, but this latest entry seems to ‘switch’ it up to provide a new experience to players.

Returning to the game are relationships. Players will choose a male or female protagonist to be their job as a peacekeeping ranger. Aside from protecting the town, players will need to look after the crops and fish for food. They will meet a handful of NPCs throughout the adventure that they can fall in love with and marry in-game. The title also features a new battle system that is more action-focused and a traveling system with familiar companions.

Rune Factory 5 is now available on Nintendo Switch.
