In addition, the cast has been announced, and it has been decided that familiar faces from the original game will continue to appear! “Of Rice and Ruin” is an action RPG that blends elements of a 3D farming simulator with a 2D side-scrolling action platformer. Initially launched in November 2020 for PS4, Switch, and Steam platforms, it later expanded its availability to the Epic Games Store in 2021. By the end of 2021, the game had sold over 1 million copies.

The game is described as follows:

Alas, this culminated in their banishment to Hinoe Island, the so-called Isle of Demons.  The ruling deity, Lady Kamuhitsuki, charged Sakuna with securing a foothold for the capital and rooting out the hordes of demonic beasts that plague the island.   And, of course, as a goddess she must also look after the wayward children of men who were alongside her.  But even a goddess needs to eat, and so the tale of rice and ruin begins…
