This latest installment in the beloved Harvest Moon franchise is set to launch on Nintendo Switch, Sony PlayStation 5, Sony PlayStation 4, Microsoft Xbox Series X, Microsoft Xbox One, and PC (Steam) later this year.
Explore a World Filled with Diverse Animals and Crops
In Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, players will have the opportunity to care for an array of animals, ranging from traditional farm animals such as cows, chickens, sheep, and horses to pets like parakeets, owls, and rabbits. Additionally, players can even befriend wolves and Bengal tigers. To travel around the land of Anthos, players can ride their horse or other available mounts.
To run a successful farm, players must grow a variety of crops, including corn, giant squash, and pineapples, as well as beautiful flowers like hibiscus and tulips. By collecting seeds from around the world with the help of the Harvest Wisps, players can cultivate both regular and rare crops.
Discover the Story of Anthos and Its Inhabitants
Anthos, the land players will explore, is home to the Harvest Sprites, spirits that protect people and nature, as well as the Harvest Goddess, the goddess of nature. About ten years ago, a massive volcanic eruption in Anthos forced the Harvest Goddess and her Harvest Sprites to use all their powers to save the people. Although the inhabitants were protected, the eruption left villages disconnected from each other.
The Harvest Goddess, believing that the separated villages and people would eventually reunite, sent a bottle into the ocean containing a letter and a magic key before falling into a deep slumber.
Encounter Interesting Characters and Cultures
Throughout their journey, players will meet a variety of fascinating characters, such as Westley, who leads Providence Village with his adventurous younger sister, Vivi. After the eruption, many people who were caught outside their villages sought refuge in Providence Village, transforming it into a multicultural hub.
