Happy New Year to all our Farmers!

Last year, we released STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar on Steam. To every Farmer who jumped in and shared with us their thoughts and experiences, thank you so much! Your words mean a lot to the development team and all the staff who work on these games, and really help to drive our passion as we continue to work on future titles.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the series! We're so happy to be able to celebrate this milestone, and couldn't have made it this far without the incredible amount of love and support you've shown us over the years.

Moving forward, we will continue to cherish the magic of what makes STORY OF SEASONS special, while working our hardest to bring you even better experiences.

Be sure to follow our official X account so you don’t miss any of the news to come!

We hope 2026 is an even "moo-re" wonderful year filled with smiles for all our Farmers!

With love,
The STORY OF SEASONS development team
