This past year at the Natsume holiday party, company president Hiro Maekawa noted that in the coming year a very big project would be released—it’s possible that the newly announced Harvest Moon: One World may very well be that game. Revealed in a press release, here’s what Natsume has to say about the upcoming title:

Fledgling farmers will explore an entire world full of new and familiar faces, unique villages, and adventurous challenges while managing their growing farm. The new title is being developed with an all-new engine and graphics.
“Harvest Moon: One World features a brand-new way of exploring Harvest Moon that seasoned players and new generations will both enjoy,” said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume. “Over the decades, Harvest Moon has evolved but has always retained the traditional, family-friendly farming fun that the franchise is known for. The new engine and new graphics will upgrade this experience for 2020. We are so excited to share more about the features of Harvest Moon: One World in the coming months.”
Can you imagine a world without tomatoes, strawberries, or even cabbage? That’s the situation players will find themselves in in the latest entry in the Harvest Moon series. Only an old book gives hints of what once was… Buoyed by a mysterious discovery, however, players will find themselves setting out on an adventure that spans not only their hometown but the whole world! What kind of people and places await? From the gorgeous beaches of Halo Halo to the snowy mountains of Salmiakki, there’s literally an entire world to explore!
It would appear that Natsume is mixing things up for this latest Harvest Moon title. A world devoid of produce? Color us interested! This talk of exploring “the whole world” also suggests that fans might be able to experience a larger game environment than ever before seen in a Harvest Moon game. We’ll continue to update as we learn more about One World, but in the meantime, share your thoughts with us in the comments and on social media!
