New Harvest Moon Game Announced

*Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea* will task players with revitalizing the land of Teradea, which is threatened by a mysterious mist emanating from the Forest of Echoes. Outside Bloomfield Village, the player's home, wild wolves roam at night. Players will journey to multiple villages, including the storm-battered docks of Tidewind, the quake-shaken mines of Quarrytop, and the fading cultural hub of Maplehill. The goal is to help the Guardian Spirits in each region and restore the world. Gameplay will feature the series' staples, such as farming, animal care, and relationship-building, alongside new exploration mechanics like climbing and jumping. Players can befriend five new bachelors and five new bachelorettes. The wilderness holds dangers, including wolves, bears, and tigers that can cause players to lose items. Players can also obtain nautical charts to discover remote islands with rare creatures and treasures. By helping villagers and developing Teradea, players earn "Happilia," which visually brightens the game world. Natsume plans to reveal more details about pre-order bonuses and special editions in the coming months.
