- Lupo Wolf Plushie: a soft toy version of the same character.
- Journal: a blank notebook for plans, notes and memories.
- Wildflower Seed Packet: seeds intended to be planted for real.
- Themed Calendar: a collectible calendar carrying artwork drawn from the world of Echoes of Teradea.
- Themed Stickers: a sticker sheet rounding out the bundle.
As for the game itself, Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea places players in Bloomfield Village, a settlement whose quiet routine is disrupted when a mist begins spreading out of the Forest of Echoes. Beasts move through the countryside after dark, and a series of disasters starts affecting villages across the region. Beyond the farm plot, Teradea is built as an open world taking in caves, remote islands and populated towns. Caves hold ore and gems, nautical charts unlock sea routes to outlying islands, and certain collectibles and animals are tied to specific regions. Players are also able to jump, climb ladders and scale vines, opening up areas that would otherwise be out of reach.
Animal companions are framed as a core system rather than set dressing. Each animal carries an ability that feeds into traversal, whether that means crossing gaps, clearing rocks and fallen trees, or turning up hidden items. Because the map is too large to cover in a single in-game day, campsites allow players to rest, restore stamina and cook over a fire, and travelling merchants encountered at these stops stock items not sold elsewhere. Relationships form the other half of the loop. Ten romanceable characters are available, split evenly between five bachelors and five bachelorettes, with events tied to building those bonds and eventually settling down with a chosen partner. Other figures in the cast include the Harvest Goddess and an inventor named Doc Jr., alongside Guardian Spirits who can be befriended over the course of the story. The narrative threads earthquakes, storms and an encroaching darkness into a single mystery.
Scattered across the world are Power Statues, each attached to a short challenge or puzzle. Completing them frees dormant Power Wisps, which yield Power Wisp Fruits. Those can then be traded at the Forest Goddess Statue for stamina increases and additional abilities.
Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea launches on 15 October 2026 across Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC via Steam.
