Natsume has announced that The Great Outdoors Pack DLC for Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos is set to launch on 3 October 2024, offering new gameplay features focused on camping, treasure hunting, and pet companionship. Available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, Xbox, and the PC via Steam, this DLC will be priced at $9.99 but is free for players who have purchased the game’s season pass.
Key additions in this pack include the ability to camp anywhere in Anthos without needing to return home at the end of the day – through a series of upgradable tents. During these camping trips, players will be able to cook camping-themed dishes, such as s’mores, to increase stamina while adventuring.
The DLC also introduces treasure hunting, where players can search for hidden treasures, including Easter eggs referencing other Natsume titles. The new Treasure Hunting Mode, accessible via the DocPad, is central to this feature. Additionally, pets will play a larger role in exploration, each with their own unique skills to assist players during their journeys.
To support this enhanced gameplay, Doc’s robot has been upgraded to ensure pets and animals are fed while players are away. Two new characters are also set to join the game—one focused on camping and the other on treasure hunting.
