Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar Launches in August

Time to dust off your old bazaar booth! During the recent Nintendo Direct, Marvelous Games revealed a remake of Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar, appropriately titled Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. On August 27th, you’ll be able to revive Zephyr Town’s old market, raise a farm, and woo a potential spouse on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 and PC via Steam.

Instead of dropping your produce in a bin at the end of the night, the big draw is bringing everything to the town’s bazaar to sell to all of your neighbors. You can do the usual raising crops and livestock, but getting across town will be so much easier with your glider!

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar will launch physically on Nintendo Switch in Standard and Limited editions. While the standard version ($49.99 USD) just includes the game, the limited one ($69.99) includes the following items:

• Suffolk sheep plush
• Poster
• A physical art book that includes over 115 pages
• Soundtrack CD
• Large box to fit it all in

Digital versions are also available, including a digital Deluxe Edition that includes the “Trunk of Transformation” DLC and a Super Deluxe Editon that also includes a digital art book and soundtrack apps.

For more, Marvelous Games describes the game:

Zephyr Town’s bazaar was once one of the grandest in the world, drawing customers and peddlers from all four corners of the globe. These days, though, the bazaar has more tumbleweeds than customers. It’s up to Zephyr Town’s newest resident to turn its fortunes around! Players will raise animals, harvest crops, craft rare delicacies, then sell wares at their very own stall in the bazaar. As the bazaar business grows, new goods and services will arrive, which players can use to improve their farm. Help return prosperity to the bazaar, settle down for a cozy life and start a family, and Zephyr Town is sure to thrive once again!

Breathe the refreshing alpine air!

Begin your idyllic new life on a farm and enjoy the daily rhythms of rural living. Nurture a variety of crops and care for adorable animals in the picturesque mountainside settlement of Zephyr Town.

Soar to Success in the Weekly Bazaar

Sell your farm’s produce and goods at the lively weekly bazaar. Customise your stall and take charge of your sales to build buzz, power up profits and put Zephyr Town’s Grand Bazaar back on the map.

An Easy-Breezy New Life

Harness the power of the wind! Catch a breeze to effortlessly drift across the town on your glider, and use windmills to gather those gusts to create new goodies to sell at the bazaar.

Love is in the Air
