Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos will release on PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, and PC
/
Developer Natsume Inc. announced that Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos will be released on the PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos is the latest entry in the long-running Harvest Moon series, and just in previous titles, players will be able to find and care for a variety of farm animals and also befriend pets like parakeets, owls, and rabbits. It’s one of the first farming simulator games as its first game was released way back in 1997 and the series has inspired a series of titles that deliver a similar experience.
"We are very excited to show players more of the expansive world of Anthos, starting with Providence Village!" said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume in a press release provided. "We're sure our fans are looking forward to exploring every inch of it as we continue to reveal the people, animals and crops in this new world!"
Here are more details about the game provided by Natsume Inc.
“The land players will explore is known as Anthos, and is home to the Harvest Sprites, spirits that protect people and nature, as well as the goddess of nature known as the Harvest Goddess. However, about 10 years ago, an unprecedented eruption in Anthos's volcanic region forced the Harvest Goddess and her Harvest Sprites to use all their powers to protect the people. The people were saved, but the eruption left the villages cut off from each other…”
“Believing that the separated villages and people would one day be reconnected, the Harvest Goddess sent a bottle into the ocean with a letter and a magic key, then fell into a deep sleep…”
Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos currently has no release date announced but it’s good to know that the game will be available on multiple platforms.
Life is Strange: Double Exposure brings back Max Caulfield with new time-manipulation powers, but struggles to capture the original’s emotional weight. While the dual-timeline mechanic is engaging, the story’s weak twists, forgettable characters, and technical issues hold it back. A nostalgic revisit, but not a standout entry in the series.
