We play a lot of farming games here at Half-Glass Gaming, so Monster Harvest looks like it’s right up our alley. This upcoming game takes the farming elements of Stardew Valley and combines them with the monster-catching gameplay of Pokémon. Very clearly, Monster Harvest belongs on our list of most anticipated games of 2021 (which is why we put it there).
Now, this is a game that’s experienced no small share of delays. Originally shooting for a May of 2021 release date, Monster Harvest was delayed into July, and then again into August.
Today, the release date got pushed back yet again. Monster Harvest is now scheduled for release on August 31.
Here’s a note from the development team at Maple Powered Games:
We know you’ll be disappointed and we do not take these decisions lightly. There was one final development hurdle to jump over that didn’t quite work out and pushing back a little was necessary to deliver exactly what we want players to experience. There’s a wonderful community that has sprouted up around Monster Harvest and we absolutely want to do right by the community, even when it means making what could be a disappointing decision.
The Steam demo is still there and available to play! Your progress in the demo will carry over to the full game, though you may want to consider starting fresh and taking advantage of any improvements and fixes added by that point.
Thank you so much for the continued support and your patience as we make sure Planimal Point is ready for your arrival!
Monster Harvest is coming to PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
