With every day that passes, we draw closer and closer to the release of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. As such, developer Marvelous has been slowly unveiling important details, features, and trailers for the upcoming farming simulator, giving fans a taste of what’s to come.
Now, a brand-new gameplay trailer of Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town has been released, with this one focusing on the game’s features like furniture crafting, pets, mini-games, clothing, and a lot more. Given the amount of teasers and trailer that has already been released, we expect that this newest one will be the last trailer until the game’s launch next month.
That being said, one wouldn’t expect Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town to be any different from the previous games in the franchise—or from the other farming games available on the market for that matter—especially since they all tend to be similar in more ways than one. However, it appears that there’s more to the game than just planting and harvesting crops, marrying a villager, and raising livestock, and the new trailer showcases this fact.
Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town will be adding a couple of new and innovative gameplay features that fans will surely love, as it helps keep the game fresh and distinct from the other titles. Previously, it was already revealed that players will be able to build their farm from scratch in this upcoming game.
What’s exciting about this is that Pioneers of Olive Town will be following the footsteps of Animal Crossing: New Horizons in terms of in-game crafting and designing, allowing players even more options when it comes to creativity. More freedom will also be given to players in terms of clothing and furniture, so much so that they can place these anywhere on their respective farms with less restriction than usual.
Going through the trailer, it seems that Marvelous has cast a special spotlight on pets in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. For instance, players will be able to play fetch with their adorable dogs—in fact, the game will allow the player’s character to interact and bond with their pets through more than just the simple act of daily petting.
Another interesting activity that can be expected in this latest Story of Seasons iteration is dog races. This kind of local activity is reminiscent of the horse races in Friends of Mineral Town, only this time it has to do with dogs! Of course, horses will still be present in this game, so there’s no need to worry.
As expected, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town will once again be utilizing the adorable Sprites. More specifically, the Earth Sprites will be there to help players with their farm, as well as with finding new areas. For example, there’s a particular in-game location where players can sprout a massive beanstalk with the Sprites’ help, which allows them to build a farm up in the sky.
