Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns – otherwise known under its Japanese name Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages – is getting localized. XSEED has announced that the title will be released next year in North America.

Here’s an overview:

In celebration of the upcoming 20th anniversary of the longest-running farming and life simulation series, the beloved Bokujo Monogatari franchise – now known as STORY OF SEASONS in the West – returns with its biggest adventure yet in STORY OF SEASONS: Trio of Towns. Settled on a homestead in the middle of three distinct and uniquely themed locales, players can explore a diverse landscape as they search for new ways to grow their farms and friendships. Extensive customization and gameplay options are on offer in Trio of Towns, with each village offering its own variety of regional crops, lads and ladies to romance, animals, festivals, furniture, decorations and more. More ways to play sprout up as players connect to one another locally or via the internet to chat, trade, and enhance items on a mysterious multiplayer island.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns will be one of several titles XSEED is featuring at E3 2016 next week. Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II, Corpse Party, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero, Touhou: Scarlet Curiosity, and Exile’s End will also be at the publisher’s booth.

Is XSEED teasing the localization of Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages? It’s quite possible.

A little while ago, XSEED tweeted out the following:


That first (and possibly second) line has people speculating that Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages will soon be announced for North America. Given the success of the original Story of Seasons, it was only a matter of time before the new entry was confirmed for the west. I imagine we’ll hear something by the end of the week!

XSEED is starting to get involved with publishing indie titles. Today, the company announced that it will be handling Shantae: Half-Genie Hero (physical and digital) as well as Exile’s End (digital) for Wii U in North America. Both will be playable at E3 later this month.

Here’s the overview of Shantae, which includes the Risky Beats retail release:

In the magical world of Sequin Land lives Shantae, a spirited young half-genie. She has dedicated her life to defending her home of Scuttle Town from evil in all forms, and has been called upon again as pirates attack! Using her trademark Hair-Whip Attack and special ability to transform herself into various kinds of creatures by way of magical belly-dancing, she must fight her way through steamy jungles, ancient ruins, and stormy deserts to topple the villainous Barons behind each criminal caper, preparing for the ultimate showdown against her arch-nemesis: the bodacious buccaneer Risky Boots!

Yesterday, Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale released in North America. XSEED shared a launch trailer for the game, which you can find below.
