The farming/life sim RPG title is available as a standard edition for $59.99 and a ‘Digital Deluxe Edition’, featuring 13 exclusive outfits inspired by marriage candidates from Rune Factory 4, for $69.99, with a 10% launch week discount on both ending July 20.

The farming/life sim RPG title delivers a full 3D adventure that has players exploring treacherous dungeons and battling dangerous foes to unravel a mystery threatening their adopted home of Rigbarth. In between each day's adventure, they'll grow crops, participate in local festivals, and build friendships with a lovable cast of townsfolk. Rune Factory 5 includes features new to the series such as link attacks, co-op cooking, and same-sex marriage.

Additionally, if players own Rune Factory 4 Special on Steam, fan-favorites Doug and Margaret will take up residence in Rigbarth's Blue Moon Inn.
