Marvelous and developer Edelweiss have unveiled the second teaser trailer for Sakuna: The Sacred Blacksmith Gaiden: Kokoro's Ring & The Gear of Creation. The roughly three-and-a-half-minute footage centers on the protagonist, Kokoro, further revealing character relationships, the world setting, and the mysteries behind the mechanical tower.
This title is a spin-off of Sakuna: The Sacred Blacksmith, announced in November 2024. The new trailer highlights Kokoro's encounter with the key figure "Yagokoro Omokane no Kusabi," who guides her on the path to becoming the goddess of invention.
New characters such as Takehinana and Aiji also make their appearance in the footage, showcasing their interactions with Kokoro and various events that unfold throughout the story. The massive mechanical tower featured prominently in the visuals, along with its origins and surrounding mysteries, will play a significant role in the plot.
The trailer confirms that the spin-off will continue to expand on Kokoro's personal journey, with a narrative focus on invention, mechanical devices, and a mysterious tower, differing from the original's rice-farming adventure. The developers have not yet revealed specific gameplay mechanics, platforms, or a release date.
