Natsume have announced that their farming RPG Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley has gone gold prior to its Nintendo 3DS launch on November 4th 2014. Rated E for Everyone by the ESRB, the game will be retailing at a modest price of $29.99 in North America – assumingly with a PAL release to follow.
Pre-ordering via Gamestop (US), EB Games (Canada) or the Official Natsume Store will see gamers earn themselves an “adorable” 5″ dog plushie modeled after the dog players can have as an in-game companion. Also available for pre-order is the Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley Collector’s Edition which features a 12″ premium-size rabbit plushie, one of the wild animals within the Lost Valley. The rabbit is part of a full set of premium plushies created by Multiverse Studio, Inc. and available exclusively via the Natsume Online Store.
From the moment we announced the newest Harvest Moon title at E3, we’ve been working hard to bring players an exciting game. We’ve taken 17 years of fan feedback and the passion of the Natsume staff and poured both into this title.

Introductory Blurb
In Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley, players will have to discover why the Lost Valley is cursed in a perpetual winter. With the Harvest Goddess nowhere to be found, and the Harvest Sprites locked away, it’s up to the player – an unlikely farmer who was caught unexpectedly in one of the Lost Valley’s fierce snowstorms – to discover the source of this curse, and bring the seasons back to the Lost Valley!
Plant crops, raise cows, chickens, and sheep, foster relationships with locals, and even woo a future spouse! Marry, have a child, and unlock the full potential of all seven Harvest Sprites, along with the Harvest Goddess and Harvest God – all inside a fully customizable world where the land is customized by the player themselves!
