Marvelous Europe have revealed that Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town will be coming to PS4, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S later this year.
Originally released for the Nintendo Switch and PC in 2020, this is a remake of the beloved GameBoy Advance farming life hit, Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. Released almost two decades ago, the game has been spruced up with completely new visuals, improved gameplay, and more content.
Here’s a quick rundown of what the game has to offer:
Your farming life begins in Mineral Town, a charming village surrounded by nature. You’ve returned after many years to restore your late grandfather’s farm to its former glory. Care for crops, livestock, and more as your very own story of seasons unfolds.
Tend to the Farm!
A menagerie of fruits, veggies, and livestock are waiting for you. Raise them all with love and care, and you’ll have plenty of products to harvest, sell, or cook with!Stroll Down Memory Lane!
Mineral Town is full of friendly faces, both old and new! Head into town, give gifts, and learn all about your neighbors as you befriend them.Fall in Love!
Mineral Town is home to several eligible bachelors and bachelorettes. Get to know the boy or girl of your dreams, and you might be able to date them, get married, and even start a family!There’s More to Explore!
Go fishing, cook fresh meals, and when your work’s all said and done, take a dip in the local hot spring. Experience the farmer’s life like never before!
The Bokujō Monogatari series, which originally debuted on the SNES back in 1996 with Harvest Moon, has gone on to inspire countless video games including Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and Rune Factory.
There’s a reason why this Friends of Mineral Town remake doesn’t carry the Harvest Moon name. Long-time series developer Marvelous parted ways with publisher Natsume who kept the Harvest Moon license. However, Marvelous has continued to create games in the same spirit, including 2021’s Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, which we gave a stunning 9 out of 10 in our review.
