It’s a Grand Opening! STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar Launches

Now open for business! Marvelous Europe has announced the launch of STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar, the next instalment in the beloved farming/life sim series, on Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch™ 2.

Grand Bazaar is very dear to many of us on the development team, and we’re excited to introduce a new generation of gamers to Zephyr Town,” said STORY OF SEASONS Series Manager Hikaru Nakano. “To our longtime fans – we are very pleased to offer you a classic STORY OF SEASONS experience with modern enhancements. As we continue moving the series forward, we hope our longtime fans continue to enjoy their time living in the charming worlds we create!”

Traverse Zephyr Town in new ways thanks to the ability to glide across the skies and soak in the updated visuals highlighting all the town’s unique charms, including the delightfully diverse residents that players can befriend as they begin to set down roots in their new home. Days of rewarding farmwork, relaxing exploration, and socialising, along with an abundance of leisure activities and festivals, await, all culminating in the most important day of the week—Bazaar Day! Players can look forward to the thrill of the sale each week, customising their stall to attract more patrons and honing their sales tactics to grow their business alongside their farm.



 

About STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar

Zephyr Town’s bazaar was once one of the grandest in the world, drawing customers and peddlers from all four corners of the globe. These days, though, the bazaar has more tumbleweeds than customers. It’s up to Zephyr Town’s newest resident to turn its fortunes around! Players will raise animals, harvest crops, craft rare delicacies, and then sell wares at their very own stall in the bazaar. As the bazaar business grows, new goods and services will arrive, which players can use to improve their farm. Help return prosperity to the bazaar, settle down for a cozy life and start a family, and Zephyr Town is sure to thrive once again!

Inspired by the classic handheld title, the new STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar builds up and improves on the original in every conceivable way. The world is bigger and more alive than ever, thanks to incredible new visuals, new characters, an expanded story, and full character voice work in story events—a series first. Take advantage of Zephyr Town’s unique weather, using the wind to make travel and farm tasks a breeze! The winds of change are coming to deliver a new life in STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar.

Physical editions of STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar are available on Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch™ 2 through participating retailers. The title is available in a standard physical edition and a physical Limited Edition, which includes a copy of the game on your preferred platform, an adorable plush Suffolk sheep, a poster, a physical art book with over 115 pages of cozy artwork, and a two-disc CD soundtrack.
