Rising Star Games have announced a partnership with TOYBOX and Natsume that will see the production of a new IP, currently under the working title of Project Happiness.

Under the watchful eye of Yasuhiro Wada, the creator of Harvest Moon, and his new TOYBOX studio, Rising Star Games will publish the title across Europe and PAL territories, whereas Natsume will handle North America.

Wada will unveil further details regarding Project Happiness at E3 2012.

“Rising Star Games is privileged to work on the wonderful new IP Project Happiness with our friends at TOYBOX and Natsume,” said Martin Defries, managing director of Rising Star Games.

“Our previous collaborations to bring great games to Rising Star Games European audience are a highlight of our game release history. The shared goal of all of us is to bring compelling entertainment to gamers, Wada-san and TOYBOX have an unquestioned skill in doing that.”

“Project Happiness is an IP that is very close to my heart, and stems from years of working on other great titles like the Harvest Moon series,” shared Yasuhiro Wada, CEO of TOYBOX.

“Project Happiness is not only meant to be a fun game experience, but I also want it to help expand the player’s view of the world, and make them ponder what their life means to them. From the very beginning of the idea of this product, we knew that to help bring its true vision to light, we wanted to partner with quality publishers who share our values like Natsume and Rising Star Games.”

Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume, adds “Project Happiness is the culmination of Wada-san’s many years of creating fun and wholesome gaming entertainment, and we’re incredibly excited to be working alongside TOYBOX and Rising Star Games throughout this project.

“As more details are revealed throughout the year, players will begin to understand why we think Project Happiness will be the next major IP and fan favorite for Natsume.”
