Natsume has announced that Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea is in development for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch.
“The mist of the Forest of Echoes now covers the land of Teradea, and outside of Bloomfield Village, where you were raised, wild wolves appear at night. There are even rumours of a large guardian wolf that rules them all…but you and your best friend are about to change that!” the press release announcing the game outlines.
“Throwing caution to the wind, you’ll set out on a mission to tame those wolves and end up unlocking a journey far greater than you imagined. Help the Guardian Spirits to revive and revitalise Teradea! Visit the port village of Tidewind to uncover what’s causing the storms there. Trek to the mining village of Quarrytop to get to the bottom of the mystery of the earthquakes that are happening. Then, stay in the once-thriving town and cultural centre of Maplehill to revive its fading light and community.”
When you aren’t on your travels, you will have the chance to tend your farm, raise animals, harvest crops and build a life for yourself. Guided by the Harvest Goddess, you will discover new ways to grow, explore and lend a hand wherever it is needed.
“We are excited to show off more of the new features of Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea over the coming months,” enthuses Natsume president and CEO Hiro Maekawa. “We have special pre-order bonuses and editions planned that Harvest Moon fans and newcomers alike will love adding to their collections. Stay tuned to learn more about the mysterious Guardian Spirits of Teradea, new gameplay mechanics, and more!”
The publisher has outlined the game’s key features, which include:
- Ten New Love Interests: Woo five all-new bachelors and five all-new bachelorettes!
Marry whoever your heart desires! - New Exploration Abilities: Jump to hidden locations and climb ladders and vines to
reach new heights and gather resources. - Animal Companion System: Bring your pets and animals on the road to adventure
together! Each animal companion and mount has special abilities to help you explore

Keep your wits about you and don’t let yourself get caught, or you’ll lose items you’ve
collected and end up back at your farm! - Island Life: Obtain nautical charts to locate remote islands to treasure hunt and befriend
rare animals that you won’t find on the mainland. - Make Everyone Happilia: Help villagers and contribute to the development of Teradea
to gain Happilia!
