Natsume continues to diligently plow the fields of Harvest Moon, and its latest crack at the farming sim series takes it to mobile. The developer and publisher revealed Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home as a mobile game that’s eyeing an August 2024 launch on iOS and Android.
Details are light at the moment, but Home Sweet Home has players moving back to their hometown at the behest of their childhood friend. It turns out the town of Alba is in rough shape now, and it’s up to you to revitalize it. In the process, you’ll need to team up with friends while convincing the more doubtful townsfolk that someone from the city has what it takes to bring their town back to life.

Interestingly enough, the news about the latest Harvest Moon game arrived a day prior to the Marvelous Game Showcase 2024 event. The stream is set to kick off today, on May 30, at 3 p.m. Pacific Time, and it sure would be a coincidence if one of their announcements had to do with the Story of Seasons series. As you may know, the original, long-running Harvest Moon series continues under the Story of Seasons title in the west due to rights issues.
We’ll see what comes of the Marvelous stream soon while we wait for more information from Natsume on the next Harvest Moon entry. Prior to this, the most recent game was Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, which hit consoles and PCs around the world in September 2023.
