Marvelous has announced that Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale is coming to Europe and Australia early this year.
The 3DS game - which is a combination of farming and role-playing - has already been confirmed for a North American release via XSEED.
Marvelous hasn't given a solid release date as yet, but this is still very welcome news for 3DS owners.
You can read our first impressions piece here, as well as an interview with one of the western localisers here. In the meantime, here's the official press release and trailer:
Marvelous Europe is proud to announce the upcoming release of Return to PopoloCrois: A STORY OF SEASONS Fairytale, an exciting adventure that merges the RPG elements of PopoloCrois with the engrossing farming experience found in STORY OF SEASONS! Return to PopoloCrois: A STORY OF SEASONS Fairytale will launch for Nintendo 3DS™ in Q1 2016.
In Return to PopoloCrois: A STORY OF SEASONS Fairytale, players take control of Prince Pietro, a young hero on a perilous and epic quest to return home. Along the way he must meet a host of colourful characters, discover a world of strange creatures and ultimately save the land from a mysterious darkness that's threatening the very future of his entire kingdom.

Marvelous!
Not my cuppa, but the more games the merrier. I thought this just came out already, but I must be thinking of something else.
I find it very sad that they are releasing all these great life sim games digital only, while all their Senran Kagura releases get full physical and limited edition treatment. I know it's because those games sell way more for various reasons, it just feels unfair. It almost feels like if you want your niche Japanese games to sell, you need to have giant boobs in them in order for them to sell enough to warrant a retail release.
I'm sure it's not the case entirely, but this is one company and their decisions. I just wish Rune Factory 4 would have gotten a proper retail release given its spectacular quality, but given the circumstances, I guess it wasn't possible. Looking forward to getting this game during a sale, just like with Lord of Magna. Had this and that game been released in retail, I would have probably bought them Day One.
Now we just need Xseed to bring it to NA... which I am guessing they will.
@ikki5 Xseed already announced. The game will be released in US on this February.
@dimosfobos
awesome, I missed that announcement.
I wish companies would just give us a date rather than hinting it'll be out "early in the year" I'll be picking this up when it's out, hopefully not long after the USA get it
Very pleasing bit of news
@Moon maybe you were thinking about Story of Seasons
Not a series I'm familiar with but it looks pretty neat! Might give it a go depending how much else I have on the go at the time
Nice.
Cool. I was hoping it would make it here.
Hopefully it's a bit like Popolocrois on the PSP was, that was ace.
