Rising Star Games exceeds 1m Harvest Moon sales

Publisher Rising Star has managed to sell more than 1m units of the Harvest Moon series across PAL territories.

Over the last decade, the UK firm has handled 13 games in Natsume’s farming series which has become the flagship of its portfolio.

Reaching 1m sales of Harvest Moon is certainly a cause for celebration and we are ecstatic,” said the firm’s MD Martin Defries.

This is a huge achievement for us. It goes to show what a strong market there is for Japanese games in the PAL market and that Rising Star Games is one of the top independent publishers in the UK.”

The Harvest Moon series debuted in 1996. The next release, DS title Harvest Moon: Grand Bazaar, is due on September 30th.
