For the Japanese version on November 30th. I just saw a video by play with Josh here: https://youtu.be/FwPYh-ALVWM

The update will have:
-A new story line
-more events with candidates and after marriage stuff. Family events too
-DLC candidates can be invited to festivals in town
-a upgrade to the harvesting crops system 3x3 at a time
-and lastly there’s a mystery ladder thing on the farm.

I know there’s a tweet, I gotta find it.

I saw it this morning and it does look interesting. No word yet as to when it will release in the west, but it could convince me to restart the game when the snow flies here.

I'm assuming the ladder is a (much needed) shortcut between the third area and the first area.

Josh in the comments said that, XSeed announced that the patch will come out November 29th, and the European one on November 30th.
Idk how accurate that is tho but I’d assume they’re correct since they made the video lol

That’s what I’m assuming too.

I must be particularly dense today as that never even occurred to me, lol, but it's a great idea! Also good news on the release date.

Both XSeed and Marvelous have confirmed localization; XSeed said November 29th for NA and Marvelous said November 30th for Europe. Wonder why XSeed's is coming out first... seems odd... but it's on their official website

So happy that we are still getting an update (hopefully updates!) for this game! They really listened to our feedback and are trying their best to make the game as enjoyable as it can.

This will probably be the final major update and I am so looking forward to Rune Factory 5 and new SoS game (pretty sure there will be one) next year! :heart: :heart: :heart:

This makes me super happy being able to harvest nine crops at a time. :)

I'm just so happy that the DLC characters will now attend the Romance Festivals. I restarted the game recently, planning to marry Ludus, but was disappointed to find out that would mean no unique scenes at festivals.

omg no way?? I remember last update everyone was saying that was probably the last and the game will die, so this is a very nice surprise. It's great they're listening to feedback bc I enjoy the game a lot and now there's even more reason to!

It hasn't really been *reviewed*, as it's not out yet, not even for content creators. The announcement was reviewed...or speculated over, I should probably say.

I'm surprised, and wondering if maybe Olive Town was a bigger money-maker than they thought...enough that they want to really lock in all these new (because this game may have lost a bunch of existing players, but there are a lot of *new* players jumping on the bandwagon, now) customers. It certainly makes things more hopeful for the next game, as I have to admit I've found Olive Town to be deeply mediocre...I never fell in love with it the way I did the three previous new games (meaning not including the remake, which I liked even less than Olive Town.) Probably they'll include most of this stuff from the beginning, next time...the fans of previous games were pretty loud about what they felt was missing, and a lot of it was nearly unanimous.

I still think that Bokumono has probably been lost from my list of favourite series. But being that this is the first all-new game by this development team, I won't be 100% certain of that until I see the next game. I do think we'll get at least one more in the Switch's lifespan, as Nintendo only weeks ago reiterated that the Switch is currently right in the middle of it's life cycle. Of course, we've already heard that they have a remake underway, but I'm talking about new games only...remakes don't count, in my books.

I think I'm most curious about the ladder going down into the earth that will appear in two spots on your farm. I hope it's not just a shortcut between the first and third region. That'd be a good thing and all, but not very exciting. Really, this new update is making me most curious when I think about what it may mean for future games.

What are the chances that the ladder leads to a storage basement?
Lol I just think it’s a shortcut.
