Natsume has announced a new Harvest Moon game, and the platforms it's about to release for might be a shocker to some. Titled Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, the game will "encompass twenty years of spirit that has made the franchise what it is today". Light of Hope will launch for PC, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch, but no specific window was given. The game will also be available to both press and the public at Natume's booth at E3 2017, with a Switch version being playable from June 13-15.

About

In Harvest Moon: Light of Hope, players begin the game as they set out looking for a fresh start and new surroundings. During their voyage, their ship is hit by a monsoon and goes down. As they drift into a small harbor town, now in a shambles from the storm, it will be up to the player to help rebuild the town and save the lighthouse…but it won’t be easy! Nevertheless, with some hard work growing crops, tending livestock, and gathering materials for repairs, players will be able to make new friends, start a family, revive the lighthouse, and save the town!

Hiro Maekawa, President & CEO of Natsume

Harvest Moon: Light of Hope will set itself apart from other Harvest Moon titles with its depth, including a robust story and clear-cut goals. We set out to create a SNES-style nostalgic game with deep and meaningful characters and events, and we are excited to have our fans play it at E3 and tell us what they think!”

Martin Defries, Managing Director, Rising Star Games

“Partnering with Natsume for over a decade, we’ve been delighted to bring the joyful gameplay of Harvest Moon to fans in Europe and beyond. We are excited to be part of the unveiling of Harvest Moon: Light of Hope at E3″.

Holy shit, finally!
And no, Harvest Moon series exist on PSP and non-Nintendo related products.

I thought you were taking a break??

Anyways Natsume has yet to produce a single HM game that I've liked so we will see.
Not when my news inbox decides to spam me with all sorts of crazy stuff when I'm taking an exam ;O;

wait, PC and PS4? I thought this series was a Nintendo-exclusive.
It hasn't been, it just had a licensing contract with Nintendo, much like how Monster Hunter has. There was a HM game on the PSP, and one was scheduled to launch on PC last year as well, it just never came to fruition.
