Support the RZSS with STORY OF SEASONS’ upcoming DLC
Marvelous Europe has announced a special DLC set for the upcoming STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar. The so-called Pine Hoverfly Outfit Set includes a sweater, beanie, and glider for in-game use, with all net proceeds going directly to the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland (RZSS) to support invertebrate conservation. This initiative continues a partnership that began in 2020 between Marvelous Europe, RZSS, and Jellymedia, aimed at protecting the critically endangered pine hoverfly. Once restricted to a single forest patch in Scotland, the species plays an important ecological role as both pollinator and waste recycler. Funding from that previous collaboration allowed the RZSS to expand its breeding programme from 170 to 8,000 individuals annually, resulting in the first sightings of adult pine hoverflies reproducing in the wild in eight years.
STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar is the latest entry in the long-running farming life simulation series, set in the mountainside town of Zephyr. Players will raise animals, grow crops, and sell goods at the weekly open-air market to restore the town’s prosperity. The game features wind-powered gliding for easy travel, scenic landscapes, and a variety of characters to befriend or romance. The Pine Hoverfly Outfit Set DLC will be available worldwide at launch, with 100% of proceeds going to RZSS to further conservation work. STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar and its charity DLC will be available globally on 27 August 2025 for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows PC via Steam.
