In November 2024, a sequel anime for Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin was officially announced. At the same time, a new spin-off game titled Sakuna Chronicles: Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation was revealed, along with a mobile game based on the franchise.
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.
Crunchyroll is streaming the anime globally, with the exception of Japan. The storyline for Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin is summarized as follows:
Two realms exist in the ancient land of Yanato: the Lofty Realm, where gods reside, and the Lowly Realm, where humans reside. Princess Sakuna was the daughter of the god of war and goddess of harvest, but she led a lazy life. One day, she is banished to Hinoe Island, the Isle of Demons. Stranded in a barren land, Sakuna sets out to slay demons and farm rice. Her new adventure begins.
