Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley has been in development for quite awhile. Graham Markay, vice-president of operations, told Siliconera that the company’s new office in Tokyo has been working on the game since early 2013.

Markay also confirmed that Yasuhiro Wada is not involved with The Lost Valley’s development. Wada is the creator of Harvest Moon, and worked with Natsume on Hometown Story.

Chocobo Racing 3D was one of the first projects announced for 3DS. Sadly, we finally received confirmation last year that the game had been cancelled.

Chocobo Racing 3D’s end seems to have come about – at least partially – because Square Enix wasn’t pleased with its quality.

A rough translation of comments made by Square Enix’s Shinji Hashimoto at the Thailand Comic Con last month reads:

When we checked the quality of the game, we did not satisfy. (so it was cancelled.)
If we would develop it for console, we think it should be a game for adults.(The target of Chocobo series is children.)

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Natsume announced Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley earlier today, though the reveal only pertained to North America. This begs the question: will Europe be seeing the game in their country as well?

While the company isn’t a position to reveal any information, Natsume did say on Twitter that it’s confident of a European release.

Natsume’s tweet states:

Natsume has revealed the first of its three Nintendo-related announcements for E3 2014. As announced by the publisher today, Natsume is bringing Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley to the 3DS later this year. Physical and digital versions are both planned.

Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley features a 3D setting and customization options that provide players with more freedom with their fields.

Today’s news means we’re technically receiving two Harvest Moon games in 2014. XSEED is localizing Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land under the name “Story of Seasons” while Natsume is releasing Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley.
