Natsume have announced the upcoming slate of DLC for Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, including a new Season Pass. For those wanting to enrich their experience with the game after launch, the DLC may hold some great value.
In Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, players live a peaceful life on the land of Anthos, a region that was once connected to several other villages. A calamity forced the benevolent Harvest Goddess to use her remaining power in order to save what’s left of Anthos, sending her into a deep sleep. A mysterious message encourages players to revive the Harvest Goddess and Harvest Sprites in order to reconnect the villages of Anthos and restore the land to its former glory.
