Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar takes inspiration from the original handheld release in North America in 2010. This new interpretation expands on the content and feature set of the original, while modernizing the visuals and design, leaning into the title’s focus on the theme of “renewal” as players set out to revitalize Zephyr Town’s bazaar and return it to its world-famous glory.

Zephyr Town’s bazaar was once one of the grandest in the world, drawing customers and peddlers from all four corners of the globe. These days, though, the bazaar has more tumbleweeds than customers. It’s up to Zephyr Town’s newest resident to turn its fortunes around! Players will raise animals, harvest crops, craft rare delicacies, then sell wares at their very own stall in the bazaar. As the bazaar business grows, new goods and services will arrive, which players can use to improve their farm. Help return prosperity to the bazaar, settle down for a cozy life and start a family, and Zephyr Town is sure to thrive once again!

Inspired by the classic handheld title, the new Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar  builds up and improves on the original in every conceivable way. The world is bigger and more alive than ever thanks to incredible new visuals, new characters, an expanded story, and full character voice work in story events—a series first. Take advantage of Zephyr Town’s unique weather, using the wind to make travel and farm tasks a breeze! The winds of change are coming to deliver a new life in Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar.

Marvelous announced a downloadable content (DLC) pack for  Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. 

All net proceeds from the new Pine Hoverfly Outfit Set DLC, which includes a new in-game sweater, beanie and glider will directly support the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) and their crucial invertebrate conservation efforts.

The Pine Hoverfly Outfit Set DLC marks the continuation of a groundbreaking partnership that began in 2020, when Marvelous Europe partnered with RZSS, with the help of Jellymedia, donating to support their efforts to reestablish the pine hoverfly, a ‘Critically Endangered’ insect. The pine hoverfly, once confined to a single forest patch in Scotland, plays a key role in the ecosystem as a pollinator and waste recycler. The pivotal donation enabled the wildlife conservation charity to significantly expand its breeding programme from 170 to 8,000 individuals annually, actively preventing the species' extinction. For the first time in eight years, adult pine hoverflies have been sighted and are reproducing in the wild.

"The fact that fans can now download Pine Hoverfly content within Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is super exciting for us, because by doing so, they are directly contributing to conserving a critically endangered species in the U.K.," said Dr Helen Taylor, RZSS Conservation Programme Manager. “Species like pine hoverflies are key to the health of our native ecosystems and yet are so often overlooked. We love that Marvelous are standing with us in protecting the wee beasties of this world and that this brilliant partnership is continuing to evolve.”

Chris Jennings, Head of Marketing at Marvelous Europe, noted, "The core theme of regeneration in Story Of Seasons: Grand Bazaar perfectly mirrors the conservation efforts taking place, bringing a species close to extinction back to ensure future generations can see them in the wild." He added that the positive impact of this initiative has fostered a desire within the Marvelous group for similar future projects.
