Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Announced for PC, PS4, and Switch

Natsume and Rising Star Games have announced Harvest Moon: Light of Hope.

The new farming and life simulation game will launch across PC, PlayStation 4, and the Nintendo Switch. While a release window isn’t confirmed at this time, the game promise to “encompass twenty years of spirit that has made the franchise what it is today.”


If you’re at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, the game will be playable on both PC and Switch. Finally, if you’re wondering why Harvest Moon is no longer developed by Marvelous, you can read about that here.

Here’s a rundown the game, via Natsume:


In Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, players begin the game as they set out looking for a fresh start and new surroundings. During their voyage, their ship is hit by a monsoon and goes down. As they drift into a small harbor town, now in a shambles from the storm, it will be up to the player to help rebuild the town and save the lighthouse…but it won’t be easy! Nevertheless, with some hard work growing crops, tending livestock, and gathering materials for repairs, players will be able to make new friends, start a family, revive the lighthouse, and save the town!

“Harvest Moon: Light of Hope will set itself apart from other Harvest Moon titles with its depth, including a robust story and clear-cut goals,” said Hiro Maekawa, President & CEO of Natsume.  “We set out to create a SNES-style nostalgic game with deep and meaningful characters and events, and we are excited to have our fans play it at E3 and tell us what they think!”

“Partnering with Natsume for over a decade, we’ve been delighted to bring the joyful gameplay of Harvest Moon to fans in Europe and beyond”, said Martin Defries, Managing Director, Rising Star Games. “We are excited to be part of the unveiling of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope at E3”.
