Nintendo and Rising Star Games confirm this new installment of the saga scheduled for autumn exclusively for the hybrid console. First details.
Nintendo and Rising Star Games have announced Harvest Moon: One World for Nintendo Switch, a new installment of the famous saga exclusively for the hybrid platform and with a release scheduled for autumn. The work, developed by Natsume Inc. and separated from the line marked by Story of Seasons —which on behalf of Marvelous will launch the remake of Friend of Mineral Town this July— has only featured a logo at the moment, although we already have details as a synopsis.
New graphics engine; launch in autumn
According to the page enabled by Nintendo on its official website, “Harvest Moon: One World has a new engine and new graphics, to enjoy Harvest Moon in a totally new way; It will delight both seasoned players and newcomers to the series! ” It is expected that visually it has better finishes than the last installment, which was criticized precisely for its discreet technical section.

At a playable level, it is confirmed that we will be able to explore a world "full of new and familiar faces, unique towns and challenges everywhere"; all without neglecting the fundamental task: managing our own farm. From the heavenly beaches of Halo-Halo to the snow-capped peaks of the Salmiakki, this single-player adventure will retain the intrinsic elements of the saga to which we are already accustomed, although we insist that no images or a formal presentation trailer have yet been shown. .
The last iteration of Natsume and Rising Star Games with Harvest Moon after the fragmentation in the rights of use of the license, whose name was finally kept by this last publisher, is Harvest Moon: Mad Mash last year. On the other hand, in 2018 we had a delivery closer to the canonical experience that One World will look for, such as Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, which marked the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the series with a somewhat lower valuation.
