Rune Factory will not release on Nintendo 3DS in Europe as previously planned. The heads-up comes from publisher Marvelous AQL.

It follows Rune Factory developer Neverland filing for bankruptcy last year.

In a statement sent to VG247 today, Marvelous AQL explained the decision. It reads:

“We regret to inform you that the European release of Rune Factory 4 for Nintendo 3DS has been cancelled.

While MarvelousAQL has made every effort to secure the title’s release for this territory, it is, unfortunately, not possible to do so at this time.

MAQL and MAQL Europe would like to thank everyone for their support and enthusiasm for their European releases. Please look forward to announcements on new MAQL titles over the coming months.”
