Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home Release Date Is Sooner Than You’d Expect

Natsume announced a release date for Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home, its new game in the series, and it’s only a week away. The game will launch on Android and Apple iOS devices on August 23, 2024. 

As is common in Harvest Moon games, Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home starts with our avatar starting life over again in a small town. In this case, rather than returning to a family member’s place to run a farm, we return to where we grew up. The goals involve running a successful ranch, getting close to the other people in town, and helping to develop Alba Village so it will grow. 

There’s also a new trailer showing how this Harvest Moon game looks and works. It starts with the male version of the avatar reading a letter while at a bus stop, then arriving back at Alba Village. From there, we see the character in front of some fields with new crops growing. After that, the character walks around town. We also see a shift in perspective to the female protagonist. Conversations with Jacques and Jean, two residents, come up. There’s also a closer look at a field that contains ordinary crops, like eggplants, pineapples, and watermelons, alongside one that looks like a snowman. From there, we get to see livestock like cows, sheep, chickens, horses. The fishing minigame, horse races, and more love interests appear after that.

Here’s that full trailer showing off the game.

The Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home release date is August 23, 2024, and people with Android and Apple iOS tablets and phones will be able to play it.
