Harvest Moon: One World is coming to Nintendo Switch this year

Natsume and Rising Star Games have announced Harvest Moon: One World for Nintendo Switch.

The latest entry in the long-running farm simulation role-playing series will be released in 2020, with Nintendo set to distribute the game in Europe.

The official blurb reads: “Can you imagine a world without tomatoes, strawberries, or even cabbage? In the latest entry in the Harvest Moon series, that’s the situation players will find themselves in. Only an old book gives hints of what once was…

“Buoyed by a mysterious discovery, players will find themselves setting out on an adventure that spans not only their hometown but the whole world! What kind of people and places await? From the gorgeous beaches of Halo Halo to the snowy mountains of Salmiakki, there’s literally an entire world to explore.”

Natsume president and CEO Hiro Maekawa said the title will include exploration features that cater to experienced Harvest Moon players and newcomers alike.

“Over the decades, Harvest Moon has evolved but has always retained the traditional, family-friendly farming fun that the franchise is known for,” he said.

“The new engine and new graphics will upgrade this experience for 2020. We are so excited to share more about the features of Harvest Moon: One World in the coming months.”
