\n\tWhile Farmville, Stardew Valley and other cozy farming games have been family friendly, this one is described as a raunchy take on the genre, with the trailer teasing that marijuana (naturally) will be a key part of the duo\u2019s crops. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tNitrate Games is behind the project, which Smith announced Saturday at San Diego Comic-Con. It\u2019s targeting a 2027 release date for PC and Steam, with players getting to interact with characters from Smith\u2019s movies. <\/p>\n
