stardew valley Developer Eric Barone, better known as ConcernedApe, has revealed when players can expect the next major update, adding new content and expanded multiplayer options to the game. Announced on Monday in line with stardew valleyIn commemoration of the eighth anniversary, update 1.6 will be available for PC (Windows/macOS/Linux) players on March 19, with consoles and mobile devices to follow “as soon as possible.”
We have an idea of the content coming thanks to a “sneak peek” ConcernedApe shared. in September. This includes three unnamed festivals, one “major” and two “mini,” along with new items, crafting recipes, billboard quest rewards, and breaking content that expands each of the five skills: farming, fishing, mining, foraging and combat. Over 100 new lines of dialogue are being added for local villagers, as are some fashionable winter outfits (which will presumably be worn during the game's coldest season).
Players can also expect some Joja-themed alternatives for some of the endgame quests and a new farm type that has yet to be revealed. Other inaccuracies such as “new secrets” and “small additions” have also been caused, but we will have to wait for the full patch notes for more details on these. Finally, PC multiplayer support is expanding from four to eight players, allowing you to drag along more farmhands (or friends) to help you build your virtual farm.
It's no small feat to keep bringing new content to a game's fanbase for almost a decade, especially for one that started as a solo project. The next update 1.6 for stardew valley Hopefully, it'll be enough to satisfy our appetite until ConcernedApe announces a release date for its long-awaited second game. haunted chocolatier.
