What happened to Island Sanctuary? (Harvest Moon game content)

I'm sorry to post this in General, but I can't find any updated information on what happened to this piece of content.

I've googled it and on the surface web it keeps citing old articles from August and October.


All i want to know is if it was delayed or cut again from this expansion, whether it'll actually come out or not this time or get delayed a 2nd time to another expansion.

I've tried the completed patch notes, but i can't find it on there.

So I'd really appreciate it if someone knows of a updated source that isn't from the media tour videos that i refuse to watch due to trying to avoid spoilers.


Thank you kindly in advance.

I mean i can wait until 6.1 :)

*cries some more*

AFAIK it wasn't even confirmed for 6.1, it's confirmed for "sometime in the 6.x patches"

Welp, there goes my heart.

Time to get something sweet to ease the depression. xD

I always figured it would at least be after 6.0 MSQ. Makes no sense tending to a farm while the world burns dealing with the end of days.

That's a finally fantasy tradition! Stop right before the big finale and go off and do mild paced side content, while the final boss sits there looking at their watch.

To be fair, it's like picking up a gatherer during the MSQ.

Hydaelyn : burning, crying and dying

Me : You know what ? That's a good freaking salad there. I love my job :D

Hey now, if no one bothers to grow food even during the end of days we all starve to death. Supply chains are a needed thing.

Ishgard: Being destroyed by dragons.
WoL: Just another hour now and I will have that fish!

Pulling for it to come in 6.1. I have an on/off addiction to Stardew Valley

For those not wanting to click the link- long story short:
More updates are coming in 6.1 & likely fantasy island is there, as well as hrothgar hair updates & purchasable Ishgard housing (In 6.0, you can only roam around the districts)

And in Elder Scrolls, it is mandatory to ignore the main story entirely. Yes, even in ESO.

Expect Island Sanctuary to be 6.2 at the earliest. Unlikely to be earlier as 6.1 is pretty much set in stone and the Devs are still calling IS as 6.X .

Animals need tending even during the End of Days... I can see you're no farmer. (Neither am i for the record!)

Island Sanctuary can come even later than 6.1. There is a buttload of content to get through at the beginning of an expansion. Closer to mid-expansion when peeps are firmly in place under the new level cap is perfect for this kind of thing. I have a gut feeling that you could basically retire your character with things like Island Sanctuary, much like you could when you could own multiple plots back in the day. I think it's going to be a lot like and was inspired by Harvest Moon.

The expansion announcement includes some content we'll see in the patch series for that expansion. The Island Sanctuary is already confirmed to show up in the patches, but where specifically is still up in the air.

That said, it's probably soon because they don't typically announce late-series content with the expansion.

Between 6.1 and 6.2 is my guess.

Reap some souls, dance and sing
reap them and harvest them to feed the void
on the moon ;)

Super excited for this content :3

Hope it does well~

If it doesn't have some kind of housing, they are tone deaf to the opportunity, and blind to the frequent tears on the forum
