The gameplay will be very similar to the past game. Players will be able to farm throughout their land, and take care of animals like cow, sheep, and chickens to earn money. Places like mountains, rivers, and forests can be scouted for materials and other things inside the game. However, some places can be quite limited as some areas cannot be accessed, such as entering shops or other homes. It is still unknown whether the final game will have these restrictions.
Another returning feature of the upcoming "Harvest Moon: Light of Hope" is the marriage feature. Bachelor and bachelorettes from previous "Harvest Moon" games will be coming back. Elise, Jeanne, Melanie, and Nova from "Skytree Village" will be available as bachelorettes. For the bachelors, Dean, Cyril, Gabriel, and Edmond from "Skytree Village" will be available as well.
"Harvest Moon: Light of Hope" is still in development and is scheduled to be released for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch in 2018.
