STORY OF SEASONS Series Sales Flourish at 25th Anniversary ‒ Pioneers of Olive Town Becomes XSEED Games’ Fastest Selling Title Ever, Friends of Mineral Town Hits New Milestone

Latest Entry Sees Steady Supply of Post-launch Enhancements and Expansions

TORRANCE, Calif. ‒ May 19, 2021 ‒ XSEED Games, the independent-minded publishing brand of Marvelous USA, Inc., is proud to announce that the Nintendo Switch™ system farm/life sim game STORY OF SEASONS: Pioneers of Olive Town is the company’s fastest-selling title with over 200,000 units sold on a single platform in North America. This milestone was reached within 2 months of its March release, breaking the record previously held by STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of Mineral Town, which took five months to reach 200,000 units sold before continuing on to reach a new sales milestone of over 250,000 units sold on Nintendo Switch in North America from its debut last July. The game has been receiving a steady stream of updates since launch to improve the player experience, with more improvements planned as the development team continues to listen to fan feedback.

The tireless Mayor Victor is reviewing all feedback left at the local Tourist Information Center, offering the following comment about the future of his beloved Olive Town:“Olive Town is an invaluable treasure to us all, tourist and resident alike. We’ve come a long way from our humble beginnings, and we’re just getting started! The townsfolk and I have been busy collaborating on new improvements and attractions to welcome both veteran tourists and folks who might be new to our shores. Of course, we wouldn’t be where we are today without the courageous farmers who helped spread the word about our humble community. From OLIVE us here at Olive Town, you have our sincerest thanks!”

Known as Bokujo Monogatari in Japan, the critically-acclaimed franchise is celebrating its 25th anniversary with phased DLC releases for the STORY OF SEASONS: Pioneers of Olive Town ‘Expansion Pass’. Released in five-parts, the bundle includes story content, new characters, and exclusive costumes, providing fresh experiences for the inhabitants of Olive Town. The DLC kicked off recently with Animal Attire costumes for the protagonists and marriage candidates, and ‘Olive Town Mystery Files,’ the first of a series of two sub-scenarios. The ‘Windswept Falls Expansion Pack’ will be released later this month with a new area home to four characters from a past entry on the Nintendo 3DS™ system – including two marriage candidates. Additional details about the ‘Expansion Pass’ can be found here.

About STORY OF SEASONS: Pioneers of Olive Town

STORY OF SEASONS: Pioneers of Olive Town is a brand-new adventure that drops eager explorers in Olive Town, a charming seaside community on the edge of the untamed frontier, where they will work to breathe life back into their grandfather’s dilapidated farm. Though it may at first appear to be a sleepy burg, Olive Town is home to dozens of unique characters to befriend when players are ready to take a break from building their dream farm – a dream farm where further exploration of the farm can yield magical lands where seasons never change, an island in the sky and even a unicorn to ride!

Developed by Marvelous Inc. and published by XSEED Games in North America on the Nintendo Switch™ system, STORY OF SEASONS: Pioneers of Olive Town launched on Mar. 23, 2021. The title has been rated “E for Everyone” on Nintendo Switch by the ESRB.

Shout timber and let slip the sheep of war – Will Nature or Lumberjacks reign victorious?

Krakow, Poland — May 19th, 2020 — Publisher All in! Games and developer 2BIGo, supported by ARP Games, are thrilled to present the hilariously chaotic multiplayer party game, Lumberhill,in which lumberjacks try to complete tasks against the clock with nature fighting them every step of the way. Travel around the world and through time, prevail against meteor showers and pirate attacks, chop trees, and herd everything from fluffy sheep to troublesome triceratops with up to four players or solo. The game will be released on Steam June 13, 2021, during the PC Gaming Show and later this year on Nintendo Switch.

Watch the new trailer:

In Lumberhill, a lumberjack’s life is no walk in the park. Trees can (and will) fling you off cliffs—to say nothing of angry hogs, and you never know when lightning will start a raging wildfire, but man cannot live on sawdust alone, so needs must! If you’re going to get the job done right, you’ll have to put your teamwork skills to the test with up to four players in local or online multiplayer.  If you want to get to know what it’s like on the wild side, split your team in half and take nature’s side as an angry ram and keep your lumberjack friends from completing tasks in PvP mode. 

As you progress through varied worlds, not only will the scenery change but the tasks too. Coax cute little piglets in Hawaii, steal eggs from pterodactyls when you time travel to Dino World, and chase after mischievous monkeys in Asia. Through it all, collect an array of fun skins and see what’s the craziest screenshot you can get.

Main features:

• Put your teamwork skills to the test with up to 3 additional friends in local or online multiplayer or PvP, or play alone in solo mode
• Get your butt kicked by nature
• Complete orders in a wide variety of challenging, time-limited levels
• Deal with chaotic random events such as wildfires, meteor showers, and pirate attacks
• Unlock new exciting worlds and a wide variety of skins as you progress
• Find unexpected routes and ways of doing things
• Throw pandas around and evade dinosaurs
• Probably kick your friends off the map by accident a lot (or on purpose—we don’t judge)

Nature gets its own axe to grind on June 13! Don’t miss the release on Steam during the PC Gaming Show.

Oberhaching, May 19, 2021; Do you feel the unbridled heat on your skin, the wind-blown sand tearing at your face? Wherever you look, nothing but a vast desert, but wait, what is that – something is moving in the far distance. Where are you? What has happened? 

Your day started as planned. The months of hard training should finally bear fruit. Motivated and full of ambition, you started the race of your life in the middle of the desert, surrounded by like-minded people who wanted to fulfil the dream of conquering the desert together with you and crossing the finish line with pride at the end of the Desert Race. 

But now you are suddenly alone in an inhospitable, hot environment. Deserted and unforgiving, the hot dunes stretch to the horizon. What happened? Where are you?

These are just the first questions you’ll be seeking answers to in Tunnel Vision Studio’s new title – STARSAND. Toplitz Productions is pleased to publish the thrilling survival game and to collaborate with the developer to deliver an incredibly special game experience. More than just a survival sandbox, STARSAND offers a thrilling story, a world of secrets to uncover and a quest to find your way home. The desert is vast and inhospitable, but perhaps you’re not quite so alone after all? 

STEAMPAGE: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1380220/Starsand/ 

About the game:

Starsand is a desert survival game set in a desert open world that looks like Earth but feels quite different. Dangers, mysteries, and puzzles await you! Find out what exactly happened, where you are and what connects you to the history of an extinct civilization. Will you manage to survive in this inhospitable environment, find answers and find your way back to your old life?

Find shade, find water, find life. Use your energy wisely, avoid too much effort in the heat, keep yourself warm through the coldest nights. You must keep your wits sharp to survive.

Hunt for food, make weapons, build a shelter, and secure it. The dunes are teeming with deadly creatures, familiar and otherwise.

In this desert you are both a hunter and prey. Insect-like predators come out of their dark nests, always looking for food. Protect yourself with fire, blow up enemies with explosive coconut grenades, secure your base and do whatever it takes to survive.

Find your way in the vast and lonely desert, orient yourself in sandstorms and mark your path. Thirst and heat become an invincible enemy during the day – cold endangers you during the night. Learn to live with adversity, see the beauty that the world holds, and learn from the animals and nature!

In short: EXPLORE, HUNT, BUILD … and SURVIVE!
