Natsume Inc. has today revealed the final release date for Harvest Moon: Mad Dash. You'll be able to grab a copy of the game on either Nintendo Switch or PS4 from 29th October.
The announcement comes alongside a brand new trailer (which you can see for yourself above). If you've forgotten what this one's all about, hopefully this official blurb and feature list should point you in the right direction:
"Go solo or take along a few friends in this fast-paced farming frenzy! Harvest, fish, milk, and more as you fulfil orders to complete each level! Things may start out easy, but you'll hit the beach, the farm, and even the Underworld as you progress through the game! Have you ever tried to grow crops with molten lava falling on them?! That and other obstacles await you as you and your friends try to clear all the levels to restore the broken lighthouse!"
Key Features:
- Fast-paced action means quick decisions are key!
- Multiplayer madness requires communication to succeed!
- Take on farm, beach, Underworld, and Skyworld levels!
- Use Harvest Sprite Powers to unlock special support skills!
In incredibly exciting news, anyone who pre-orders the game from GameStop can also pick up this bonus squishy sheep keychain. We'll take ten.

How am i supposed to comment about that Harvest Moon ?
Should i say Nah ?
"Right folks, what are the things people love most about Harvest Moon games?"
"The charming graphics!"
"The slow, tranquil pace!"
"The relaxing music!"
"Okay... Let's do NONE of that!"
Please, Natsume, just give the Harvest Moon trademark over to Marvelous and stop this madness.
Stardew ended my love affair with Harvest.
I know Natsume own the HM name, but this has gone too far. They have been dragging a legendary series through the mud, as if they don't care about what would happen to it. Many players that I know still don't know about "HM" and "SoS" after the transition, and how sad I am when I heard them talking bad things about how "HM" is so downgraded nowadays. Well, they are not wrong, but I have to explain to them about the name change every time.
And why are they even planning to sell this? I thought this would be a "free-to-play with micro-transaction" game.
The game looks beyond meh
But that sheep.. It looks like it digs me..
I'll take the sheep....
Is this a mobile game?
1 Sheep 2 Sheep 3 Sheep 4 Sheep ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
I just want that keychain.
@Olliemar28 You must work for Natsume!
Clicked to see the sheep keychain...not worth it.
It's not even a harvest moon game... It's almost like they took overcooked and farm frenzy and smashed them together to make a broken combination of them. Graphics don't look that good, everything looks repetitive and overused, and I even see fps drops here and there... Will definitely not be picking this one up, that sheep keychain looks nice tho, hopefully it will help those who pre order the game to cope with the disappointment.
it seems that the game has such a bad reception that comments are disabled
Graphics look fine to me but I like the adventure the older games had. May fit someones fancy though.
Seeing this only makes me wonder when we'll receive a proper Story of Seasons game for the Switch!
Since when did Natsume become Konami? I'll skip this one. Let's wait for the Harvest Moon pachinko
That's one expensive keychain.
It's telling that comments, and the like/dislike bars are disabled.
That is not the Harvest Moon I grew up with it looks like some kind of free to play farming game
To see one of my favorite old school game franchises devolve into this trash is just a tragedy. I would kill for a quality HM like the snes,gb,ps1 ones.
oh this looks baaad
Hmmm....
Hmmmmmmmmm....
I'm more interested in getting Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town. As for this game, no, I have tried Harvest Moon games similar to this and no, I would rather play a real Harvest Moon, not mini-games.
@Manski777
my same impression too...
I usually find the positive side of things, but unfortunately not for Mad Dash. Natsume, if you want to make new games with new genre, go ahead, but please don't do this to HM.....
HM was the legend of its own genre back in those days. Mad Dash made HM sounded like a failed Stardew Valley wannabe.... Shame on you, Natsume.....
So it's a p2p mobile game that they're going to try and sell as a full retail game?
No thanks. They should relinquish the Harvest Moon name to Marvelous so we can play the REAL HM games with the familiar branding.
