Sakuna Chronicles: Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation has a new trailer celebrating the sixth anniversary of Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin. XSeed Games and developer Edelweiss shared another look at the upcoming spin-off, placing Princess Kokorowa at the center of the story.
First announced in 2024, the game expands the series beyond the original action-platformer and rice-farming simulation. Platforms and release timing remain unannounced, with further details planned for a later date.
Princess Kokorowa Takes the Lead
Kokorowa is a high-ranking goddess who presides over wheels and inventions. The new trailer offers a glimpse into her past and the trials awaiting her and the other inhabitants of the Lofty Realm.
The cast includes original characters alongside returning faces. Sakuna, Kokorowa’s closest friend, appears in the footage, maintaining a connection to the first game while shifting the focus to a different protagonist.
XSeed describes the video as a closer look at the story behind Kokorowa and the Gears of Creation. The announcement doesn’t detail its gameplay systems, keeping the narrative and characters as the focus of this update.

New Trailer Marks Six Years of Sakuna
The anniversary presentation follows the spin-off’s initial announcement two years ago. Its emphasis on Kokorowa’s history gives returning players a new perspective on a familiar character, rather than simply revisiting Sakuna’s role from the original.
For now, the trailer offers the latest look at that change in lead character. XSeed and Edelweiss haven’t provided a launch window or confirmed which systems will carry the game, so you’ll need to wait for another update before planning where to play.

Web Manga Continues the Original Game’s Story
Fans looking for another follow-up can also read Sakuna Chronicles: Parting Clouds, a web manga set immediately after the events of Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin.
The manga features familiar characters and offers another part of the expanding franchise while development continues on Kokorowa’s game.
