Silent Hope 'Day 1' edition detailed, connection to Rune Factory revealed

Just yesterday, XSEED Games announced Silent Hope, a brand new action RPG coming to Nintendo Switch on October 3rd, 2023. Not surprisingly, a physical ‘Day 1’ edition is in the works, and you can get a peek at it up above.

Preorders will soon be available for the physical Day 1 edition, which includes an artbook and soundtrack. This will be available through the XSEED Games Store and participating retailers for a suggested retail price of $49.99, while the standalone base game will be available digitally for $39.99 on eShop.

Finally, we also have an interesting confirmation from XSEED as well. Those who saw the trailer for Silent Hope noticed a few similarities to the Rune Factory franchise, and that’s very much by design. XSEED has confirmed that Silent Hope ‘shares the same world’ as Rune Factory, which certainly explains why Woolies appear in both titles! More details on this connection will be shared in the future.
