Return to the Stone Age on the App Store and Google Play with Over 250 Collectible Pets, Strategic Turn-Based RPG Combat, and Visually Appealing Cartoon-Style Aesthetics

We are thrilled to finally bring this game to the West for mobile players around the world,” said Joon Sung Chang, Executive Producer of Netmarble.

At launch, the following events are available for player Trainers to take part in and grow stronger to defend against the Machine Civilization:

  • Moga Growth Event (June 18 – July 1) – Grow the Moga and players can get diverse growth related rewards

About STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of Mineral Town

Summoned by Mayor Thomas to visit the farm once owned by their late grandfather, a young city-slicker returns to Mineral Town to find the once lush farmland has fallen into disrepair. Memories of idyllic summers spent in Mineral Town come rushing back and they immediately pick up their tools, vowing to restore the fields to their former glory. In their new hometown, they’ll tend the land and become part of the bustling rural community. Along the way to becoming a world class farmer, they’ll befriend townsfolk and, perhaps, even find romance.

STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of Mineral Town is a complete remake, re-envisioning the charming and occasionally mysterious world of Mineral Town with updated gameplay, graphics, and characters for the modern day. Core features of the STORY OF SEASONS series also make their return, with multi-floor mining and fan-favorite events like horse racing.

Returning the series to the simulation style that put it on the map, Friends of Mineral Town features detailed farm management by individual squares of land, while also introducing smooth, modernized controls to make managing tools and items fun and easy. Once the crops and livestock are tended to, players can spend their days catching fish in the river, mining for ore, or taking a relaxing break in the hot spring.

Developed by Marvelous Inc. and published by XSEED Games in North America, STORY OF SEASONS: Friends of Mineral Town will launch July 14, 2020 on the Nintendo Switch™ system and Windows PC via Steam. The physical edition for Nintendo Switch™ is available for pre-purchase for a suggested retail price of $49.99 at the XSEED Games Store and participating retailers.
