I’m here for the Angora rabbits
The wholesome-sim hits keep on coming. It feels like we only just gotRune Factory 4 Special, andAnimal Crossing: New Horizonsis a few tantalizing days away, but there’s also the upcoming Nintendo Switch remake of the Game Boy Advance titleHarvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Townto consider.
When is that game coming out? And are we ever going to take a breather? (Don’t count on it!)
Marvelous announced a June 09, 2025 release forStory of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Townin Europe and Australia, and while we don’t have the North American date yet, I’d expect a similar time-frame from Xseed. For its part, Marvelous is planning a physical and digital Switch eShop release.
When we last covered this remake, some of you wondered about same-sex marriages. They’re confirmed! Otherwise, today’s gameplay trailer is pretty familiar. You’ll break your back to restore grandpa’s farm, raise crops, tend to your livestock, go fishing, horse race, and attempt to woo the townsfolk.
In other words, if you’ve fallen in love withStardew Valleyin the past several years and never played its muse,Harvest Moon, you should feel right at home. The new art direction isn’t my favorite, but I’ll deal.
