Adventure and farming simulator game Harvest Moon: Light of Hope will soon be receiving physical releases according to publisher Natsume Inc. This comes in the form of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition Complete which will be available for the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo Switch on July 30.
Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition Complete is being released to celebrate the beloved farming simulator and role-playing game franchise’s 20 year anniversary. After its initial success on the digital market, publisher Natsume aims to also commemorate this by launching the physical version along with the four optional downloadable contents they released. These are the “Decorations & Tool Upgrade Pack,” “Divine Marriageable Characters Pack,” “New Marriageable Characters Pack,” and “Doc and Melanie’s Special Episodes.”
Harvest Moon: Light of Hope puts you in the shoes of a farmer, voyaging across the seas when a terrible and dangerous monsoon ravages your journey and leaves you shipwrecked. You wash ashore in a harbor town, equally destroyed by the merciless typhoon. Thanks to one of its inhabitants, Doctor Jeanne, your life is saved. It is now up to you to rebuild this desolate and deserted town by growing crops, tending to live stock, and gathering repair materials to show your gratitude. Here, you have the opportunity to create new friends, start a new family, revive the lighthouse, save the town, and breathe new life into your newfound home.
This release is a good pick-up for anyone looking to own Harvest Moon: Light of Hope and its many DLCs in a single pack for either the Switch or the PS4. Add that to the fact that it’s a physical release, which really adds to its overall value.
Harvest Moon: Light of Hope Special Edition Complete will be releasing for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 for $29.99 on July 30. The physical and digital version will be available at all major retailers and on the PlayStation 4 Store and Nintendo eShop. That includes all optional downloadable content, which is valued at $18. Currently, Harvest Moon: Light of Hope is available for PC digitally via Steam.
