Publisher Untold Tales has revealed that the rather lovely looking Everdream Valley will be launching on Switch in June 2023.
The date comes just shortly after the planned release on PC, PS5, and PS4 on May 30th, 2023. As for the game itself, you'll be spending your days tending to your farm by tending to your crops and nurturing your collection of animals. At night, magic dreams will allow you to physically embody the farmyard animals and complete a number of unique challenges.
Here's a peek at some of the key features:
Bring Life and Charm Back to the Farm - This little homestead needs a lot of attention. A sprawling variety of fruits and veggies to grow and a vast collection of animals to raise. Protect your crops, keep your animals happy, and gather the resources to repair and expand your farm.
Create an Animal Paradise - Everdream Valley has very few people disturbing the peace so animals thrive here. Pigs, cows, chickens, ducks, goats, alpacas… the list goes on. Each creature (wild and domesticated) comes with some unique influence on your farm. Everdream Valley is all about caring for animals, so rest assured you’ll never be turning your favorite cow Bessie into a burger patty.
The Best of Fluffy Sidekicks - At your side will always be your trusty doggie companion. Choose from 13 different breeds and train your best bud to help with things like herding, tracking, finding treasure, and more. There's a cat too. Win him over and maybe he'll do something for you in return too. Maybe.
The Magic Comes Out at Night - At night the magic of the valley comes out and your dreams let you become one of many animals on the farm through unique mini-games. Each has its own special reward or impact on your farm the next day.
A Relaxed Sandbox of Adventures - Your summer days in the valley aren’t just about looking after the farm. There’s so much more to do! Spend the nights camping, build a treehouse, catch and collect bugs, go fishing, get new clothes, cook, take photos, build furniture, go treasure hunting. Each adventure gives you something back to help you grow your farm even more.
With a release not too far off in the future, hopefully a firm date will be set in stone very soon.

Don't know if it qualifies as beautiful, but I really dig the lush, dense grass. It reminds me of Oblivion's forest, for some reason. The rest kinda looks like SoS Friends of Mineral Town, especially the look of animals - chickens and Alpacas.
"Plants its seed on switch" hehe
Will be a day one buy but I'm saving myself for AWL, so it will have to be benched for a bit.
I'm waiting for this cute farming sandbox game. 😃
Hopefully there will be physical release in the future.
I’m to busy with my growing backlog, TotK, and the Story of Seasons remake in June. I’m starting to believe there’s such thing as too much of a good thing.🫠 Let’s just hope a Direct isn’t around the corner
That yellow shirt with the black wavy line is going to get a copyright notice eventually.
The art direction is nice looking. Hopefully the game offers something new and substantive.
Finally, the Switch is getting a farming sim! Critically underrepresented genre.
What we desperately needed.. another farm sim.
I am currently developing a farm simulator.
I am going to call it 'Celestial Body Morning Condensation Gorge'.
That looks a bit rough around the edges. However this gem from Aksys looks great. I played the previous one in this series and it was awesome… https://aksysgames.com/princessisland
@Kiyata
I already knew that new Pretty Princess game by Nippon Columbia on Switch this June 2023, thanks to play-asia for providing pre-order of surprising upcoming games.
I'm also waiting that game.
Played the demo on PC but not too much. Waiting to see the Switch version. The graphics are top notch. I just wonder how much of the lush animated world in the PC version will be possible in the Switch version.
Game looks a bit better than the new Harvest Moon. Might give it a go if I ever could get it during a sale.
It's a day that ends in y, therefore we get an announcement that a new cozy farming sim for the Switch is on the way.
@SwitchVogel It's not just that there are a glut of them, a single farming sim takes tens, if not hundreds of hours to play through.
@Anti-Matter I preordered it also! I can’t wait to get it! 😀
I've got too many farming Sims in progress now...Might have to Wishlist this one for a future playthrough as a good Farming Sim will eat up a ton of hours.
@bozz I'm just happy its not another news article about TotK!! Don't get me wrong, I love Zelda and playing TotK as we speak, but they need to give it a rest, so this is a welcome breath of fresh air! hahahaha
@antisumo TOTK is arguably on track to be the biggest, or most memorable, Switch game ever with one of its two biggest characters. This is another generic farming sim that looks like dozens of other ones that came before it. Naturally the former will get far more attention.
@bozz kinda missing my point as I'm not denying TotK isn't one of the biggest game on the Switch. But my point is there are other games and I wish people would stop jumping on the "oh not another farm sim" bandwagon. I can't stand jrpgs but you don't see me trolling the comments saying oh here's another one!
I probably won't get this one, but I like the genre, so I love that I have a wide variety to choose from
