E3: Harvest Moon Skytree Village Trailer Released
Natsume Inc have released the new trailer for their game Harvest Moon: Skytree Village, at E3, which you can see below. Times have changed in the land known as the Oasis of the Harvest Goddess. Many people used to live in Skytree Village, and the land was lush and green. However, the power of the Harvest Goddess gradually began to wane, and the land became parched and dry. It’s up to you revive the seven Skytrees in order to give the Harvest Goddess her power back, and, in turn, bring life back to this desolate land
Along the way, players will meet a new cast of characters (with a few returning faces), alongside a brand new art style, new character models, and more.
With user-friendly tutorials, players will immediately be able to jump into the thick of things, customizing their farm by raising and lowering the land, creating rivers, ponds, and more. Upgraded tools will assist farmers in shaping the land more efficiently, and afterwards they can kick back and relax in their boat to do a spot of fishing! It won’t be long before they’ll need to weigh anchor to care for their newest herd animal: the Poitou donkey!
There are set to be a number of key features of Harvest Moon: Skytree Village:
- Play as a boy or a girl, woo bachelorettes and bachelors, and start a family
- Completely new story with tons of interesting new characters.
- New crops and flowers to discover.
- New fishing mechanics: expand waterways and catch rarer fish.
- A full town with many residents, each with their own personalities and quirks.
Harvest Moon: Skytree Village is set to come to Nintendo 3DS, with Hiro Maekawa, President and CEO of Natsume spoke about the new release, saying:
“After the evolutionary Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley and a successful jaunt to mobile platforms with Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories, we are really excited to share everything we have learned with our fans. Our community is very important to us, and their feedback and input has been taken into account a great deal in the development of Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. We hope they will see and feel their contribution in this new game.”
