Marvelous showed new footage of its next Story of Seasons title and the first footage of Rune Factory 6 during a livestream marking the 30th anniversary of Story of Seasons and the 20th of Rune Factory. The company had announced Rune Factory 6 in 2023.
Marvelous announced on August 21 that the latest entry in the Story of Seasons series, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, will be the next title in Nintendo's simultaneous trial event for Nintendo Switch Online members. The trial runs from August 24 at 12:00 to August 30 at 17:59, letting subscribers play the full game for free during that window. The game, released in August 2025, is a farm management simulation set in Soyokaze Town, a community known for its weekly bazaar that has fallen into decline. Players grow crops, care for animals, and sell goods at the bazaar to revive the town and aim for the world's greatest bazaar. It is based on the 2008 Nintendo DS game Story of Seasons: Welcome! Wind Bazaar, with updated graphics and systems for current consoles. Alongside the trial, a sale runs from August 24 to September 6, offering 40% off the Switch version at 3,960 yen and the Switch 2 version at 4,620 yen. Save data from the trial can transfer to the purchased full version.
