Metallic Child Releases Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin Themed DLC on March 31

CREST Inc. announces the first round of DLC for its sci-fi rogue-lite game METALLIC CHILD, featuring a crossover collaboration with Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin.


TOKYO – March 17, 2022 – Publisher CREST INC announced today that its popular sci-fi rogue-lite Metallic Child will release its first two DLCs “Of Rice and Cores” and “Kokorowa” on March 31th. The DLC will feature a cross-over with Edelweiss' Japanese-style action game Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin and will feature exclusive weapons, character and stage customizations bringing the world of Sakuna into the battlefield of Metallic Child. Both DLCs will be available for purchase on both Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam for $7.99.

“Of Rice and Cores” DLC brings the world of Sakuna: Of Rice And Ruin to Metallic Child by introducing the “Raiment of Harvest and Valor” customization which allows players to play as protagonist Sakuna equipped with an exclusive weapon, “Combat Hoe.” This weapon features a new system in which the skill attack changes depending on the skill gauge level. When the “Raiment of Harvest and Valor” is equipped, Mini-cores left by defeated robots and HP cans turn into onigiri (rice-balls). The “Kokorowa” DLC brings Sakuna's friend, Kokorowa with her own exclusive weapon with the skill gauge system.
