"Harvest Moon: Light of Hope" begins with players setting out from their homeland looking for something new. Unfortunately, as they go on their journey, the ship they are sailing on is hit by a storm and goes down. The players then find themselves on small harbor town after the tragedy, only to find that the town itself was ravaged by the storm as well. To end all the misery, players are tasked to help the people, develop the town and save the lighthouse.
This feat will only be successful through hard work and a lot of farming; a classic "Harvest Moon" set-up for their 20th-anniversary game.
"Harvest Moon: Light of Hope" is set to come out for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PC in North America and Europe. The game is scheduled to be introduced at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) this June.
