'Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town' PS4 Release Date Set For Next Month - Trailer

by Rainier on June 24, 2022 @ 12:45 p.m. PDT

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town is a new adventure that drops eager explorers in Olive Town, a charming seaside community on the edge of the untamed frontier, where they will work to breathe life back into their grandfather’s dilapidated farm.

Though it may at first appear to be a sleepy burg, Olive Town is home to dozens of unique characters to befriend when players are ready to take a break from building their dream farm.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town will bring players more freedom than ever before to shape an untamed wilderness and customize their farm down to the very tile.

A new cast of marriage candidates, a town that grows and thrives along with your farm, and a request system highlight the new features, all while retaining the core elements of the STORY OF SEASONS series.  Finding Earth Sprites while exploring your farmland may lead you to mysterious, fantastical lands such as gardens where the seasons never change, an island in the sky, or even the inside of a volcano!

Inspired by tales of their grandfather's pioneering days, the protagonist decides to pack their bags and leave the hustle and bustle of big city life for the frontier in Olive Town.

When they arrive, they run into Victor, the town's mayor and their grandfather's old friend.  He brings them to the old farm, which has been reclaimed by nature over the years.  Determined to breathe life back into their grandfather's dream and follow in his footsteps, the protagonist rolls up their sleeves and gets to work.

Olive Town—which is just a stone's throw away from the farm—is a port town built on the tip of a peninsula.  It might be a quiet little town, but it is home to a whole host of unique characters.  And while the townsfolk get by well enough in this picturesque seaside locale, a little more tourism never hurt anyone...

XSEED Games announced that Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town will release on the PS4 on July 26 in both physical and digital versions for $39.99.

The physical edition can be pre-ordered now on the XSEED Games Store and at participating retailers, while the digital version will be available at launch with a 10% discount for the first week.

The DLC Expansion Pass, which takes players to new areas beyond Olive Town, reintroduces old friends from past entries in the series, and offers impressive new outfits, will be available digitally as a separate purchase for $14.99.

The DLC Expansion Pass features the “Animal Attire,” “School Uniforms,” and “Yukata Set” outfit packs, the “Olive Town Mystery Files” and “The Legendary Sprite Dance” sub-scenarios, and the “Windswept Falls,” “Terracotta Oasis,” and “Twilight Isle” Expansion Packs – all three of which include two additional marriage candidates from past games in the STORY OF SEASONS series. Three additional costume sets inspired by previous STORY OF SEASONS entries (“Pete and Claire’s Overalls,” “Yuto and Naomi’s Hoodies,” and “Henry and Holly’s Western Attire”) will also be included with all Expansion Pass purchases.
