Let’s have a look at the very brief history of LGBT romance in Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons. While this is a first for an official release of a Harvest Moon or Story of Seasons game in the west, the inclusion of LGBT romance in the series has a bit more of a history to it.

Whether playing as a male or female character, each bachelor and bachelorette is accessible as a romance route. But perhaps the biggest and most important thing added to the game is the ability to date and marry characters of the same gender. The game has been fully recreated in 3D and features new content, character designs and various quality of life improvements. Originally released in Japan at the end of 2019, the game is a remake of the 20 Game Boy Advance games Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town and Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town.

Earlier this month, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town released for Nintendo Switch and Steam in the west.
