Harvest Moon has been one of my favourite franchises of all time. That’s despite the ups and downs the series has had over the past few decades. For me, it began with the original Harvest Moon on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1997. Since then, I’ve played almost every game released. My favourites include Harvest Moon 64 on Nintendo 64 and Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life on the Nintendo GameCube. Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos on Nintendo Switch is another favourite.

A new game from Natsume is on the horizon, and I couldn’t be more excited for it. For over a week now, Natsume has given us at 4ScarrsGaming the opportunity to begin our adventure. I’ve been playing Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition during that time. While I keep getting the name mixed up as I play, I have genuinely enjoyed my time with the experience so far.

Without even picking up a controller, I knew this was going to be very similar to Winds of Anthos. The gameplay looked really similar, and the graphics seemed to be a 1-to-1 lift. The simplistic control scheme that made Anthos so attractive was also going to be alive and well again.

That said, there are plenty of new ideas and features added into Echoes of Teradea. We can officially show some of those things to you! Check out our first look video below. Stay tuned for even more Harvest Moon content as we get closer to launch.

Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea launches on Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC via Steam on October 15, 2026. The game was originally scheduled for September 24, 2026, before being pushed back to October 15. The game will include 10 romanceable characters and animal companions. There will also be farming, ranching, and plenty of story elements to keep you busy for hours.
