Natsume announced that Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny is set to launch September 27 on both the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii. It is the first time that the Rune Factory franchise will be available on the PlayStation 3.

Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny focuses on Aden and Sonja, two lifelong friends, who live a tranquil life on Fenith Island until they're struck by a mysterious curse. The duo awaken to find both of their souls are now trapped in the same body and that the Fenith Island they knew is gone, replaced by a strange island populated with unfamiliar faces. Only by exploring this new world will they be able to solve the mystery of this curse and save their island.

During the course of the game, Aden and Sonja will be aided by a cast of characters, as well as take command of a towering golem, Ymir. Using their newfound giant friend, they'll cross vast seas, discover hidden islands and dungeons packed with riches, and battle fearsome monsters of the deep.
