The beloved farming series Harvest Moon is making a comeback on Switch next month with upgraded 3DS ports, accompanied by unexpected new releases.

A recent Taiwanese certification listing reveals plans to bring Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home ‘Deluxe Edition’ – originally a mobile title – to Nintendo’s console and Sony’s latest platform. Launched exclusively for smartphones in late 2022, this expanded version seeks to bridge the gap between platforms.

Crafted by appci under Natsume’s publishing banner, this iteration promises unprecedented scope for the franchise. Players pursue romantic interests across diverse options while managing agricultural operations, aquatic resources, and subterranean exploration.

Seasonal competitions and community-building activities drive progression, with emphasis on attracting settlers and boosting local commerce. Official materials highlight:

Head back to your roots and leave the city life for your childhood village of Alba in Harvest Moon: Home Sweet Home, where the freshest fish and tastiest veggies are grown and caught by the local farmers and anglers!

However, with its population getting older and younger villagers leaving for the big city, Alba Village has seen better days, so can you help turn it from a village on the decline to one of prosperity? With its beautiful surroundings, Alba definitely has the potential, so work hard to bring tourists and even new residents to this sprawling green village! Reunite with your childhood friend and other familiar faces to help put Alba on the map!
