Stardew Valley is getting yet one more shock replace

We could not have a date for Stardew Valley‘s subsequent main replace, however now we have affirmation that it is taking place. Eric Barone, the developer behind the hit farming sim, introduced that there can be a 1.7 replace in the course of the Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons live performance in Seattle, later confirming the information with a post on X. Barone, higher generally known as ConcernedApe, did not reveal a launch date, nor any teasers about content material.

Contemplating the numbered replace, we’re anticipating greater than only a patch and one thing much like the recent content material added within the 1.6 replace. The earlier replace launched in March of final yr and delivered a ton of free content material, together with the Meadowlands Farm, a brand new three-day competition, extra crops and novel NPC interactions.

Followers will all the time welcome extra content material for Stardew Valley, however some expressed concern about how this may affect the discharge timeline for Barone’s upcoming title, Haunted Chocolatier. The developer revealed the standalone title in 2021 and instructed PC Gamer in April of this yr that he would not work on any extra Stardew Valley updates till he is accomplished with Haunted Chocolatier. To supply some reassurance, Barone replied on X that the 1.7 replace “won’t hinder Haunted Chocolatier improvement.”
