Natsume has announced the next entry in the Harvest Moon series.
It's known as Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea, and is slated for release across Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and Steam. I am sorry to say, a release date hasn't been announced yet.
Here is the official blurb for Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea, as shared by Natsume:
"The mist of the Forest of Echoes now covers the land of Teradea, and outside of Bloomfield Village where you were raised, wild wolves appear at night. There are even rumors of a large guardian wolf that rules them all… but you and your best friend are about to change that!
"Throwing caution to the wind, you'll set out on a mission to tame those wolves and end up unlocking a journey far greater than you imagined."
Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea will include ten new love interests (five bachelors and fivebachelorettes), new exploration abilities like the ability to clime ladders and vines, an animal companion system, an untamed wilderness which includes wild tigers and wolves which - if they catch you - will make you lose your items, remote islands for treasure hunting, and the chance to earn somethnig known as Happilia by helping out villagers.
"We are excited to show off more of the new features of Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea over the coming months, Natsume president Hiro Maekawa said in a press release. "We have special pre-order bonuses and editions planned that Harvest Moon fans and newcomers alike will love adding to their collections. Stay tuned to learn more about the mysterious Guardian Spirits of Teradea, new gameplay mechanics, and more!"
