Evaluation

Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch launched on November 3, 2022 and received several patches and DLC releases over its post-launch period. Three paid/free DLC packs shipped in late 2023: the Arabian Horse DLC (November 3, 2023), the Rainbow Tack Set (December 7, 2023), and the Foal Care Pack (December 7, 2023). All five DLC items listed on the store are marked as released. On April 18, 2024, developer Aesir Interactive published a direct statement to the community confirming that active development on the game had concluded. The post explained that the team had returned for one final patch (version 1.1.7, released the same day) to address remaining issues on Nintendo Switch after the late 2023 DLC releases were originally intended to wrap things up. The developer explicitly stated: "we've reached a bittersweet moment where we'll be concluding our active development on Horse Tales: Emerald Valley Ranch." No further content, patches, or updates have been announced since that date. The game shipped as a complete, finished product as of April 18, 2024.

About this game


Your vacation at your aunt’s turns out to be far from what you expected. Your once grand family property has fallen into ruins and you find yourself facing a huge challenge.

How to return your ranch to its former glory?


Get caught up in a beautiful horseback adventure! Explore the vast wild stretches surrounding you, meet the residents of the peninsula and forge friendships. Discover the secrets hidden on the island, Breed, tame and train horses – each with their own strengths and characteristics – and take part in thrilling races.

Your aunt has really let the family estate fall into disrepair – what remains of the once glorious stud farm is now rubble and ruins, and you are the only one who can do anything about it.



Fortunately, you are not alone in your endeavor: In the mayor’s son Gabriel, the local woodsman Mattéo and the architect and master craftswoman Noella, you quickly find invaluable allies to rebuild what once was and make it better than ever before. It is now up to you to restore your family’s name to its former glory – and perhaps even to gain the respect of the prestigious Félix family.

Set off on a poetic horseback adventure and relish the feeling of total freedom in a vast open world. Gallop through various, enchanting landscapes, along the seashore, in the forest, near a coral lagoon, and more. Who knows, maybe you will discover a few secrets as you explore them. Along your rides, you will meet new friends, and complete many missions and quests to save your family’s legacy!

Restore your ruined family ranch to its former glory by rebuilding and personalizing it with various buildings, stables, horse care facilities, supplies and decorations.
