News: A new role playing game is coming from Square Enix with this new life simulation title that changes with the seasons.

Square Enix has just announced a new life simulation role playing game titled Harvestella. This will feature concept art by Isamu Kamikokuryo (Final Fantasy XII) and music by Go Shiina (Tales series). In Harvestella, you will experience a beautiful world that changes with the flow of the seasons. There will also be a variety of gameplay including tending to crops, befriending townspeople and adventuring into challenging dungeons.

Harvestella is set in a vibrant and colorful world where four giant crystals called “Seaslight” create a stable change between the four seasons. The adventure begins as abnormalities in the Seaslight begin to appear, creating the “Quietus,” a season of death that takes place between the naturally occurring four seasons. During the Quietus the crops wither and people cannot venture outside, and troublingly, these seasons are mysteriously growing longer with each year.

In this life simulation RPG, players will grow and tend to crops, use ingredients to cook and craft items, and venture into the overworld, which vibrantly changes based on the season, to visit different towns, interact with townsfolk, go fishing and more. Players can select from various Jobs, such as Fighter, Shadow Walker, and Mage, and venture into dungeons with their party to discover the origins of the world as well as the truth behind the calamity along the way.

Harvestella will be available digitally for Nintendo Switch and PC via STEAM on November 4, 2022. A physical edition for Nintendo Switch will also be available. The game is currently available for digital pre-order via STEAM. Will you be picking it up? Check out the trailer below and tell us what you think.
