Harvest Moon, the long-running farming simulation game, has a new installment coming to Nintendo Switch in the form of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope. The game is set to bow on May 29, which is only a handful of weeks away, but in order to build further hype for Light of Hope, developer Natsume has revealed that there are four (count ’em, four!) DLC packs that will be released following launch.
As a result, fans can snag the Season Pass for Light of Hope in order to get ahold of all the content and save themselves some money, in the process. The Season Pass will cost $9.99 (not too shabby compared to some of the much pricier Season Passes out there). The Harvest Moon: Light of Hope SE Bundle will be available at launch for $49.99 and includes the Season Pass. If the SE Bundle is preordered, fans will save an additional 10 percent, effectively halving the price of the Season Pass.
Here are all the deets we have on the actual content heading to fans:
