It will feature an authentic roster of hundreds of actual NFL players, including Colin Kaepernick, Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Justin Jefferson, T.J. Watt, Joey Bosa, Ja’Marr Chase and Aaron Donald.

Harvest Island is a unique blend of storytelling, horror, and farming simulation, where you grow crops, collect tidepool critters, and fish for the gods. The game offers an immersive experience where you can explore hidden places, such as a cave behind a waterfall, befriend wild animals that hide in the forest, or even discover a vending machine randomly placed in a dark underground room along the beach.
Developed by Yobob Games, Harvest Island was released on October 10 for Windows PCs on Epic Games Store and on Steam.
