Japanese developer Natsume announced its newest farming sim game today titled Harvest Moon: One World for the Nintendo Switch. The new Harvest Moon game will be released later this year.
Harvest Moon: One World will feature a new world with both new and returning characters, unique villages, and new challenges as you grow your farm. The new game will explore a world where vegetables and fruits don’t exist, and they must venture beyond their towns and into the world bring back produce into the world.

Although Natsume didn’t provide screenshots, the developer promised that Harvest Moon: One World is being developed with a new engine and graphics.
In a press release, Natsume president and CEO Hiro Maekawa say, “Harvest Moon: One World features a brand-new way of exploring Harvest Moon that seasoned players and new generations will both enjoy.”
The last Harvest Moon game, not counting a 2019 runner spinoff, was Harvest Moon: Light of Hope released in 2018 for PS4 and Switch. Considering how popular Animal Crossing: New Horizons proved to be, there might be a market for players hungry for more farm and life sims.
