Although information technology has yet to be confirmed on the English site, multiple sources are stating that the same-gender matrimony mechanic that appeared in Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, known as a "Best Friends Ceremony" (uh huh) will be appearing once more in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Boondocks, as confirmed on the Japanese Story of Seasons website.

Ranch Story Blog, the Ranch Story Wiki, and ScreenRant all confirm the return of the much-requested ability to marry anyone regardless of gender. Over on Reddit, user jpdt_ligiiihh translated the screenshot above, taken from the Japanese site:

"In that location are v bachelors and bachelorettes to romance, making them x romance options in total. It is possible to get partners with the same-sex through a 'best friend ceremony'."

There has been no news on whether or not Harvest Moon: One World will feature same gender marriage, just it'southward unlikely, given that the last game - Harvest Moon: Light of Hope - didn't.

Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town will launch on Switch on the 23rd March. Pre-orders will receive a squishy buffalo costly.
