The new farming simulation work "Star Sand Island Story" was officially announced to be released on February 1, 2026

　　The farm simulation game "Star Sand Island Story" developed by Seed Lab officially announced that it will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC platforms in February 2026. With its unique interpretation of the classic mode of "Stardew Valley", this work has long been on the wish list of many healing game enthusiasts.

Although there are many farm simulation games that imitate "Star Dew Valley" in recent years, "Star Sand Island Story" has stood out with Ghibli's animation-like visual style since its release. Currently, this game ranks 190th in the Steam Wish Single (data comes from SteamDB), which shows how high the market expectation is. For players who love healing games, the newly announced release date means only a few months to wait - a slight delay compared to the original planned fourth quarter of 2025, which may make loyal fans who are looking forward to playing within the year feel a little regretful.

In the Xbox live event of this Tokyo Game Show, the official confirmation that "Star Sand Island Story" will be officially released on February 1, 2026, and will be released on October 12, 2025. The game will be logged on to this generation console and Steam/Xbox PC platform. Experiments can also receive limited collection cards, badges and "cartoon fans" and other physical gifts.

　The latest trailer further demonstrates the game's animated movie-like worldview, and briefly demonstrates the production and construction system. In addition to standard elements such as planting, fishing, hand-made, socializing, and combat, this game is characterized by providing a "diversified vehicle experience", and players can drive different means of transportation to explore maps. Its full 3D animation rendering style is particularly prominent in similar life simulation games and has become an important selling point.

　　Although the pre-sale data performed well, the final market performance of the game still needs to be tested. Interested players can follow the trial version on October 12, or mark the release date on February 1, 2026. As an independent game, the price of this game has not been announced yet, but it is expected to maintain a popular position.
