Meet Sharance’s Eligible Bachelorettes in the Latest Video for Rune Factory 3 Special, Releasing on Sept. 5
Marvelous Europe today shared a new video for Rune Factory 3 Special, a remastered and expanded version of the classic RPG/Life Sim set to release on the Nintendo Switch™ system and Windows PC via Steam on Sept. 5.
Today’s video introduces the 11 bachelorettes that protagonist Micah will encounter in his daily life - at least when he’s not tending to his farm or exploring dangerous dungeons. Rune Factory 3 Special features a legendary cast of marriageable ladies including Shara, a kindhearted young woman with a powerful sense of justice; Sofia, an heiress who always says exactly the opposite of what she means; and Raven, a prickly blacksmith’s assistant who doesn’t like small talk - or any talk at all.
In Rune Factory 3 Special players take on the role of Micah, a young man with the power to turn into a golden sheep-like monster known as a wooly. Rescued by a young woman after falling headfirst into the provincial town of Sharance, Micah awakens with no memories of his past and soon finds himself embroiled in a longstanding conflict between humans and monsters. Micah must work to build bridges between the races to restore peace, all while uncovering a shocking secret of his own.
Featuring brand new content including Newlywed Mode, a set of standalone adventures unlocked after marriage to each of the game's 11 eligible bachelorettes and a "Hell" difficulty level to challenge even veteran players!
Whether it's a first visit or a return to Sharance after a long time away, players can experience the unforgettable story of Rune Factory 3 with improved graphics and redesigned 3D character models.
