To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Western release of the original Harvest Moon game, developer Natsume has announced Harvest Moon: Light of Hope for PlayStation 4, the first Harvest Moon game to grace a Sony platform since the excellently-named Harvest Moon: Boy & Girl launched on the PSP back in 2007. Set after a monsoon beaches the player's boat on an island, you'll be tasked with fixing the town's lighthouse in order to help rebuild the town.
You'll be tending to crops, rearing livestock, and procuring materials as well as making friends and starting a family as in previous games – after all, President and CEO of Natsume Hiro Maekawa explains: "We set out to create a SNES-style nostalgic game with deep and meaningful characters and events." The game will be playable at E3 2017.
Are you looking forward to Harvest Moon making a return to PlayStation, or will you be sticking with gaming heavyweights like Farming Simulator for your agricultural fix? Be but a simple farmer in the comments below.

Just to be clear this is not the original Harvest Moon series. The Harvest Moon series now goes by the name Story of Seasons. Besides I have Stardew Valley for my Harvest Moon fix.
I'm interested in seeing how this looks, but if this was not on the Switch, I'd probably be way less curious. I probably wouldn't buy this on my PS4, but the fact that I don't have to be confined to one screen in one room makes smaller and less intensive games like this and other indies way more enticing.
I really wanted to try Stardew Valley at a point, but after hearing of a Switch version I decided to wait. The portability and versatility really is a game changer.
Stardew valley has set the bar high. This would really have to deliver for me to be interested.
Not my kind of game, but it's cool that PS4 is getting this.
Another sub-par Fake Harvest Moon, I'll bet.
