Creator of Stardew Valley, Eric Barone, also known as ConcernedApe, has revealed that a new major update for the game is on its way, officially set to be released in 2024. The 1.6 update was initially planned to be a smaller addition, focusing on dialogue changes and introducing new tools and items. However, it seems that its scope has significantly expanded over time, to the point where Barone encourages players to start a new game to fully experience the extent of the changes.
“The 1.6 update turned out to be a bit bigger than I had originally planned,” he wrote on Twitter. “I’m now done adding new content and I’m in the bug fixing/polishing phase until it’s ready to release. Thank you for your patience. It’s going to be great seeing everyone play it!”
In response to comments on Twitter, Barone added that the 1.6 update involves “adding new elements to the existing game content, lots of little things that players will gradually discover in the new gameplay.”
So far, Barone hasn’t revealed all the details about the Stardew Valley 1.6 update, although a feature list published at the end of 2023 revealed that it will include:
– A new major festival
– Two new mini festivals
– New late-game content that expands in each skill category
– New crafting items and recipes
– Alternative endgame quests for Joja
– Over 100 new lines of dialogue
– Winter outfits for the villagers
– A new type of reward for completing bulletin board tasks
– Multiplayer support for up to 8 players on PC
– Several minor additions and improvements
– A new type of farm
– New secrets and much more
Additionally, Barone hinted at the introduction of a new tool in the 1.6 update – iridium scythes, which will make gathering grass, wheat, and other crops easier.
Whatever gets introduced in the 1.6 update, it’s definitely worth revisiting the game – especially for those who are keen on starting anew. Stardew Valley is a game that offers almost endless possibilities for enjoyment, and with the upcoming content inching closer, there will be plenty of reasons to immerse yourself in the farm life once again.
