Stardew Valley Celebrates Anniversary with Sneak Peek at Next Update
Stardew Valley, developed by Eric Barone, better known as ConcernedApe, is celebrating its tenth anniversary this week. The game was launched for PC on February 26, 2016, and has gained a loyal following since its release.
Anniversary Celebrations and Sneak Peek
To commemorate its milestone, Barone announced a special video featuring a retrospective of the game, which will also provide a sneak peek at the upcoming 1.7 update. The video is set to air at 7 PM GMT, showcasing old footage along with Barone’s insights.
What’s in the 1.7 Update?
Barone has promised exciting new features in the forthcoming update. Notably, the update will introduce:
- Enhanced interactions with the children in Stardew Valley, making them more engaging for players.
- Two new marriage candidates for players to pursue.
These developments come despite Barone previously indicating that no further updates would occur until after the release of his next game, Haunted Chocolatier. However, he changed his mind and decided to pursue additional content for Stardew Valley.
Haunted Chocolatier Updates
Regarding Haunted Chocolatier, Barone mentioned that work on this game, first announced in 2021, has progressed significantly. Still, he has not provided a specific release date, emphasizing that it will be available “when it’s done.”
