STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar – Some footage

Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma just came out on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, but if you’re looking for a more “traditional” and peaceful spin on the farming game formula, Marvelous has something for you! Introducing STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar, coming to the same platforms on August 27th in Europe and North America, and August 28th in Japan.

STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar is a remake of Grand Bazaar, first released on Nintendo DS (back when the series was known as Harvest Moon outside Japan). Alongside the obvious upgrades (like the massively improved visuals), this version of the game also features new characters, an expanded story, and full character voice work in story events (a first in the series!).

Wondering what the game looks like in action? Here’s a video with over 8 minutes of footage:

And in case you missed the initial announcement during the Nintendo Direct in March, here’s a trailer, some details, and some screenshots:
