A new farming adventure is on the horizons for Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town. The game is set to release in the US during March of 2021, and has just announced deluxe bundles will be available. However, fans may notice there is a big difference between what Europe is getting in their bundle compared to what the US will see in theirs. Both Story of Seasons deluxe bundles cost the same amount, roughly ten dollars more than the base game, so why is it the UK edition seems to offer players a much better deal?

For Story of Seasons fans in the US who want to spend the extra money, they will receive the game, a 4″ plushie of the game’s buffalo mascot, and a 13.5″ by 24″ cloth poster featuring Pioneers of Olive Town’s key promotional art. This seems like an awesome bundle for $59.99 USD. Especially because Story of Seasons games don’t seem like the sort to get special bundle versions for release day. However, looking at the UK item spread, players in the US seem to be getting a much shorter end of the stick, including a lack of pre-order bonus.

For those who snag a deluxe edition of Story of Seasons in the UK, they will find they have a much wider selection of items included. This Pioneers of Olive Town bundle offers players an A5 notebook featuring Story of Seasons marriage candidates from the game, 10 trading cards of characters, and a A3 poster with a unique image of the game’s characters in a similar chibi style to the promotional art on the game’s cover. They will also receive the buffalo plush as a pre-order bonus, according to MarvelousGames. This means the only thing the US gets which isn’t included in the UK bundle will be the cloth poster.

The release of deluxe editions can often be a frustration for gamers, as it is common for the items to vary depending on where the bundle is available. However, having Story of Seasons’ deluxe edition include the same items across all regions would be nice for those who might prefer the cute notebook over a cloth poster. Another option for fans would be a choice between bundles, regardless of the region the buyer lives in. This would allow fans a little more control over what they spend their extra ten dollars on, instead of being forced to settle on region specific availability.

Story of Seasons is a farming simulator, which means it is a niche genre and may have a less expansive audience than other games. Because of the potentially limited buyers, Marvelous may have tailored the bundles for areas they thought might sell more copies. However, for fans of Story of Seasons games, both bundles offer bonuses with a greater item value than the extra ten dollars being spent, and are worth snagging. Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town‘s special bundles only add to the anticipation for fans waiting to journey to a far off town and explore the wild wonders that come in restoring a virtual farmstead.
