Farming Sim Monster Harvest Delayed to August 31st

Manchester, UK, August 4, 2021 - Merge Games and Maple Powered Games have announced that Monster Harvest, the upcoming farming sim meets critter collecter adventure, will need a few more weeks of polish to harvest its potential. The tough decision has moved the release back to August 31st on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

A note from the team follows:
 

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 a pixelated farming simulator with a twist! You will find yourself starting a new life in Planimal Point, ready to develop your own farm, customize your house, craft your own furniture and make delicious jams. What’s more, you can even mutate your crops to create loyal and fierce companions to take into battle!

During the journey through Planimal Point, you will discover strange Slimes which can mutate your crops in ways they would never have imagined! Depending on the season, the Slime, or the crop you mutate, you will be able to create up to 72 different mutations!  

Some crops will mutate into Planimals who are loyal mutated crops that stay by your side through thick and thin. They’ll be a key companion as you adventure across Planimal Point, taking part in thrilling turn-based battles and exploring dungeons as you try to bring down the evil SlimeCo.
