Natsume has announced Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea, the next entry in the Harvest Moon franchise coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Switch, and PC via Steam. A release date was not announced.
Here is an overview of the game, via Natsume:
About
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. Help the Guardian Spirits to revive and revitalize Teradea! Visit the port village of Tidewind to uncover what’s causing the storms there. Trek to the mining village of Quarrytop to get to the bottom of the mystery of the earthquakes that are happening. Then, stay in the once-thriving town and cultural center of Maplehill to revive its fading light and community.
Between your travels, tend your farm, raise animals, harvest crops, and build a life for yourself. Guided by the Harvest Goddess and aided by the friends you’ll make in each of the villages, you’ll find new ways to grow, explore, and lend a hand wherever it’s needed. As friendships deepen and the seasons pass, the truth behind the mist will slowly come into focus. With the support of those you’ve helped—and those who stand beside you—you may discover a way to lift the veil from the Forest of Echoes and let Teradea flourish once more!
