Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar Set for PS5 and Xbox Series Release
The acclaimed farming and life simulation game, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, appears to be headed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles.
The Taiwan Digital Game Rating Committee recently rated the title for both platforms, signaling an expansion beyond its initial availability on Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
Publisher Marvelous has yet to officially announce PlayStation or Xbox versions of the game.
Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is an expanded reimagining of the classic handheld title, which invites players to leave the hustle of the city for a life of cozy comforts in Zephyr Town.
This charming location is known for its year-round invigorating winds and its world-famous market, which has unfortunately fallen on hard times.
Players are tasked with helping Mayor Felix bring brighter days back to the “breezy burg” by establishing a farm and reviving the Grand Bazaar.
The core gameplay centers on raising animals, harvesting crops, crafting rare delicacies, and selling the wares at a personal stall during the lively weekly bazaar.
As the business grows, new goods and services arrive in Zephyr Town, which can be used to improve the farm.
The new edition builds upon the original in every conceivable way. Key enhancements include gorgeous new visuals and an expanded story.
It is also the first game in the series to feature full character voice work in story events, bringing the community of friendly townsfolk and magical Nature Sprites to life.
The game utilizes Zephyr Town’s unique weather, allowing players to harness the power of the wind to effortlessly travel across the town on a glider and use windmills to create new products to sell.
Players can also enjoy a rich life building relationships, finding love, and starting a family amongst the colorful cast of characters.
The new rating suggests that Marvelous is preparing to bring this enhanced farming experience to an even wider console audience.
