Everything Included in the Visitors from Afar DLC

As previously stated, there are 2 more marriage candidates available through the Visitors from Afar DLC, bringing the grand total of in-game love interests to 12. However, I decided to exclude these marriage candidates from the lists above due to them not being available in the base game.

Here are both of the brand-new marriage candidates and everything else that players can expect from the highly-anticipated Visitors from Afar DLC:

  • Adds a new story where players get to help the Verne Trading Company set up their business in Anthos.
  • Adds new steampunk-inspired furniture and items.
  • Adds a new bachelor, Jaques (Charlotte’s Assistant), and a new bachelorette, Charlotte (CEO).

The list of new content that this DLC brings may not be long, but it’ll take you hours to explore its every nook and cranny!

The Visitors from Afar DLC will be released on October 17, 2023, and retails for $12.99.


Harvesting crops may be one of the central mechanics of Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, but harvesting hearts is so much more exciting! (in a marriage way, not in a serial killer way)

If you love the romantic aspects of Harvest Moon: The Winds of Anthos, then you’d probably love playing Moonstone Island and Stardew Valley. Both of these games are life sims that just happen to include romantic elements; check out Gamer Journalist’s guides for Stardew Valley and Moonstone Island for more information!
