While sure to spark some speculation, Marvelous Interactive, while
not too giving on details just yet, announced that they will release Harvest Moon Online on a next-generation
platform in 2006. Nothing else is mentioned, including to what extent of it will be online and for what platform (Xbox
360, Revolution, PlayStation 3). Producer Yoshifumi Hashimoto commented that he has never worked on an online title, so
it should be interesting.
Could it be an MMO in the vein of the original Harvest Moon series? Could we visit our friend's farms, steal their
chickens or destroy their crops? The devious possibilities seem endless…
