Step aside, Animal Crossing! It looks like the new Story of Seasons game, Pioneers of Olive Town, is going to let us befriend eggs. It's all we've ever wanted! Granted, we don't know exactly what the Japanese says in this new gameplay video, but do we need context for egg friends? That's right, we don't.
Let's have a look at those eggs with faces again.
Adorable.
The video above, posted by Perfectly Nintendo, showcases a few of the new features included in Pioneers of Olive Town, including what looks like a photo mode (for taking pictures of squirrels, obv) and a Museum (wonder where they got that idea from). There also appear to be shared meals with villagers - something that was a large part of the last 3DS Story of Seasons game, Trio of Towns - and a potentially new mechanic that involves buckets.
Near the end of the trailer, there's a tease of a spooky character in the woods. If past games are anything to go by, this is probably a dateable bachelor or bachelorette - previous Harvest Moons and Stories of Seasonses have often featured slightly weirder, harder-to-woo characters, like the Witch Princess, the Mermaid, or Keira, a girl who lives at the bottom of a mine and communicates entirely in signs. We all know that the hard-to-get ones make the best spouses... right?
Pioneers of Olive Town is due to come out in March as both a digital and physical release. Will you be grabbing it on launch, or are you waiting for the Harvest Moon release instead? Give us your farmy thoughts below!

eggs with faces
That's how the harvest sprites look if you remove the flesh-suits they use to resemble humans.
Harvest Moon DS was amazing mostly due to the bizarre hidden requirements for the secret bachelorettes so I hope you have to do something mental like ship 4 million turnips to do the nasty with some sort of spooky hottie.
@Eel oh... no...
@nessisonett my Tinder profile: "don't even talk to me unless you've sold 4 million turnips"
@KateGray @nessisonett Well, in the case of the Witch Princess it would be less about how many turnips you've grown, and more about how many cows and chickens you've killed.
Hopefully this new alleged witch is a bit less into that!
@KateGray @Eel If you really want things to get freaky, dump a level 100 poisonous mushroom into the cooking pot during the festival. The whole town dies and the credits roll. Love that game.
@Eel stabbing my goats to death I'm sorry!!! IT'S FOR LOVE
Exegg- cute indeed.
Tomorrow's headline: The Pokémon Company sues Marvelous for blatant plagiarism of their anthropomorphic cluster of eggs.

I have my hand drawing of eggs with eyes.
That's good enough for me. Where do I sign?
I already have the deluxe edition pre ordered. I can see myself putting a ton of hours into this game like i did FOMT.
Pokemon confirmed. Game is set in Kanto.
Execute what are you doing in this farming Simulator?
My wife played the heck out of Stardew Valley, so I pre-ordered this for her already.
@Anti-Matter NGL that's a pretty good drawing
This game has eggs with faces? Alright I'm in, iI'll take 20 copies
