XSEED Games announced that Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life will be heading west on June 27 coincidentally with the Japanese release on Nintendo Switch on January 26, 2023. The English version will be available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
The announcement also comes with a new trailer featuring papercraft artwork from Japanese artist shinrashinge. Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life is a re-release of the 2003 GameCube game Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life.
In Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life, players will take over an area where their father wished to start a farm. It’s called the Forgotten Valley, where a new life will begin — making friends, growing crops, and raising animals. There are dating elements, too, and a big part is getting married and having a kid to watch them grow up in-game.
