Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin, quietly one of the best action/farming sims of the past few years, is being made into a lovely new anime series, and it's out later this year.
Produced by Toho Animation and PA Works, Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin will be broadcast on the TV Tokyo network later this year, in 2024. The announcement teaser for the new anime adaptation is just below, and it looks like a delightfully charming tribute to the original farming game.
The original game on which Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is based just recently celebrated its third anniversary, and announced it's sold through 1.5 million copies worldwide since launch. It's quietly established a cult following in the three years since launch, and farming sim fans can often be found on Twitter and other social media sites preaching the good work of Sakuna.
Developer Edelweiss's game followed Sakuna, a fallen princess and god, on her journey to establish her very own farm in Feudal Japan and learn more about humans. You could plant and nature crops while building up friendships with allies around your farm and then venture out into 2D action-packed battles in the surrounding landscape to slay demons and other monsters.
Considering Edelweiss originally set a sales target of just 30,000 copies sold, I'd say Sakuna far exceeded expectations. I'd also say pretty much no one saw this TV anime adaptation coming, either, and I'm very intrigued as to how the anime will balance farming, befriending characters, and slaying monsters around the Isle of Demons.

Cyan Worlds today announced plans to launch their fancy real-time 3D remake of Riven later this year, coming with support for both VR cybergoggles and standard meatspace screens. Riven: The Sequel To Myst was the 1997 sequel to Myst, the 1993 pre-rendered adventure game which sold a million CD-ROM drives and launched a thousand specks of spittle from John Walker's mouth. The remake previously had a longwinded name of its own, Riven: New Discoveries Of The Lost D'ni Empire, but now is simply named Riven. They should rebrand again and call it Riven: The Sequel To The Myst Remake.
Entering development all the way back in 2010 before being officially announced a couple years later, Cloud Imperium Games’ massive space-faring MMO Star Citizen has been one of gaming’s most curious stories for years. Development on the title has dragged on for what has felt like an eternity, and though it has been playable in varying stages of alpha for a long time now, with the project continuing to rack up mind-boggling amounts of crowdfunding (currently standing at roughly $670 million), it has continued to look like a game that’s never going to actually release.
Paranormasight: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo is getting a manga sequel which focuses on one character of the original game's eight.
The studio behind unexpectedly decent Mickey Mouse life sim Disney Dreamlight Valley are venturing into another fantasy land where anthropomorphic animals adventure with human chums, the Forgotten Realms setting of Dungeons & Dungeons. Today Gameloft announced they're making a D&D game offering a "hybrid of survival, life simulation and action RPG". They don't have much more to share about the game, not even a name, so presumably it won't be out for some time. Whatever it might be, it's headed to PC and consoles.
video game adaptations often focus on the high adventure that can be found within the tabletop experience, but a new life sim could shake things up from the standard. Life simulation games have become increasingly popular in recent years, from the spike in 's popularity to the ever-expanding realm of cozy indie games. It's a template that can be applied to just about anything if the execution is well-considered, and is certainly no exception.
It was only a matter of time until Helldivers 2jumped off the screen and into reality. As a reflection of the game’s runaway success on PS5 and Steam, PlayStation has unveiled a lineup of merchandise made by Ripple Junction, including shirts, hats, coffee mugs, keychains — the whole deal. It’s full of cheeky game references, letting you wear the button combo to execute an Orbital Precision Strike strategem, or wear select quotes of Super Earth propaganda that your character is usually screaming as you annihilate bugs or robots.
