Marvelous USA today announced the release of the free 1.1.0 update for STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar, the latest installment in the beloved farming/life sim series which released for the Nintendo Switch™ 2 system, Nintendo Switch™ system, and Windows PC via Steam on Aug. 27. Available to download now through all digital platforms, the free update not only brings bug fixes and improvements to the game, it also introduces the new “Happy Bingo” feature, offering farmers a variety of useful rewards for completing bingo missions. STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar recently reached over 500,000 sales and maintains a “Very Positive” user score on Steam with 93% positive reviews.
The new Happy Bingo feature can be accessed once farmers reach “City Bazaar Rank” in Zephyr Town. After triggering an event scene on their farm, the feature unlocks, granting players their first set of bingo cards to complete. Each spot on the card features an everyday activity like fishing or petting animals. Players complete these activities to fill spots on their card until they’ve completed a Happy Bingo! Players then turn in completed cards at the Nature Sprites’ stall, Happy Shoppe, on bazaar days to earn a variety of useful items. There is even a Deluxe Bingo card that offers greater rewards, including unique outfits and gliders, with more planned for release in the future.
About STORY OF SEASONS: Grand Bazaar Zephyr Town’s bazaar was once one of the grandest in the world, drawing customers and peddlers from all four corners of the globe.

Help return prosperity to the bazaar, settle down for a cozy life and start a family, and Zephyr Town is sure to thrive once again!
