Marvelous To Produce 2 New Games From the Story Of Seasons Franchise

During its recent game showcase, Marvelous announced it is working on two new games for its popular Story of Seasons farming game series. The first game will be a traditional single-player experience, while the second game will focus on multiplayer gameplay. Marvelous didn't provide any further details or titles for these upcoming games.

XSEED Games, Marvelous' American subsidiary publisher, described the games with a central theme of "Experiences." Hikaru Nakano, the Series Manager, presented the first footage of the next installment in the original farm/life simulation series, showcasing a fresh new look after 27 years of farming and friendship. Nakano-san also shared exciting news and initial concept images for a separate future entry currently in development. This ambitious new title aims to unite STORY OF SEASONS fans, offering an opportunity to play together with everyone.

In North America, XSEED Games will release Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, a remake of the game Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, on June 27. Marvelous will release the game on the same day in Europe and Australia. The game will be available via Steam via Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

Previously, the games were released by the publisher Natsume under the Harvest Moon franchise title. However, XSEED Games took over the franchise's release in 2015 and can no longer use the Harvest Moon title owned by Natsume.
