Unfortunately for gamers looking forward to the release of the next Rune Factory game, Xseeed has confirmed that the game has been delayed for a bit.

The game was expected to release this August. But an Xseed representative replied to a fan inquiring about Rune Factory 4’s release, citing QA reasons for the delay and that we could be waiting until October for the game’s retail date.

The exchange can be seen below:

Hi quick question, when is Rune Factory 4 actually going to launch. I’m dying to get my hands on this title, but it seems to keep get pushed back.

And we’re dying to get it to you, but the game is absolutely massive and taking much longer to QA (play through the English for quality assurance) than we originally anticipated. Right now we could be looking at a late September or October release, but it will definitely be worth the wait.

While there currently is no release day set in stone, we can hold October as the next possible release date for the game.
