The release date for Harvest Moon: One World is looming closer with each passing day, and Natsume has been hard at work ensuring that the hype remains strong by slowly unveiling what fans can expect once the new farming sim gets launched. Last time, fans discovered through the game’s demo that Harvest Moon: One World will feature multiple regions, with each one offering players a unique farming opportunity.
These regions are supposedly inspired by real-world locations such as Hawaii, which is definitely interesting. This time around, Natsume revealed that the upcoming title will have several DLC expansions packs as well as a Season Pass. The good news is that many of these will be offered at affordable prices.
For those who may not know, Harvest Moon: One World is the most recent entry in the long-running Harvest Moon franchise. Just like the other titles in the series, Harvest Moon: One World is an agricultural simulation RPG, so players have the responsibility of tending to their farm and livestock, while trying to create lasting relationships—romantic or otherwise—with the game’s villagers.
Once a sufficient relationship level has been reached, players will be able to marry the villager of their choosing. Fans of other popular farming simulators, like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons, may be familiar with this gameplay mechanic.
That being said, it appears that Natsume has more to reveal about Harvest Moon: One World. Specifically, the upcoming game will have 4 DLC packs, with 3 getting released after the game has already launched. For those who want to have access to the entire collection of DLCs, Natsume will offer players with a Season Pass worth $14.99. Interested players will be able to purchase the Season Pass on March 2, 2021, the same day as the game’s release.
That being said, here’s a quick breakdown of what players can expect from these DLCs:
The Interior Design & Tool Upgrade Pack, which is priced at $2.99, will be immediately available upon the game’s launch. This gives players more design options when it comes to house customization. It will also give players access to another upgrade level for the various tools available, which will make fishing, planting and growing crops, as well as mining more convenient and efficient.
As for the post-launch DLCs, players can look forward to the Far East Adventure Pack, which will be available for $12.99 on March 23, the Precious Pets Pack for $2.99 on April 13, and lastly, the Mythical Wild Animals Pack for $2.99 on May 4.
Each of these expansion packs is definitely interesting in their own right, and we can imagine players would want to purchase each one for what they can bring to the table. For instance, the Far East Adventure Pack will unlock a completely new island in the game called Wagashi.
On the other hand, the Precious Pets Pack will introduce 12 new animals like silver dapple horses and siamese cats. Given its name, we assume that players will be able to make them into farm pets. As for the Mythical Wild Animals Pack, players can look forward to 10 fantasy creatures, including lava rabbits and chocolate mint tigers.
