Natsume Inc. has revealed that Harvest Moon: Back to Nature will be launching on PlayStation Plus Premium on February 21. Harvest Moon: Back to Nature was the first Harvest Moon title to launch on the PlayStation in North America on November 20, 2000. PlayStation Plus users can soon return to the farm they loved 23 years ago.

“Harvest Moon: Back to Nature left an impact on players over twenty years ago as the first farming sim for PlayStation,” said Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume Inc. “It is a joy to work with PlayStation again to bring one of our most beloved titles to PlayStation Plus so that fans can revisit a game that they so fondly remember, and new players can play a classic game that created an entirely new genre!”

As a child you visited your Grandfather's ranch when vacation plans fell through. Return to the farm that holds fond childhood memories and rejuvenate its long-neglected fields. Tend to your livestock and interact with over 50 characters. As you struggle to make the farm something your grandfather would be proud of, one nagging question remains: What ever happened to the girl that you knew a decade ago?

Some of the key features include:

Non-linear, real-time game play allows for a wide assortment of events

Compete with villagers in challenging festival mini contests

Add a kitchen and collect recipes

Harvest Moon: Back to Nature joins a variety of games in the PlayStation Plus catalog that boasts classics across all PlayStation consoles. Will you be playing Harvest Moon: Back to Nature via PlayStation Plus?
