Stardew Valley creator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone has shared an update on the farm-life sim’s highly anticipated – and long-in-the-works – 1.6 update, saying he’s now “done adding major new content” and that it’ll “definitely” be out this year.
Barone revealed he was working on a 1.6 update for Stardew Valley back in June 2022. At the time, he warned players it would be relatively modest in scope, and ‘mostly modding-focused’.
With each new showing, however, 1.6 has seemingly grown more ambitious, and Barone last year confirmed it’ll introduce one major new festival and two new mini festivals, new items and crafting recipes, new dialogue lines, a new farm type, new late-game content, winter outfits for villagers, a new larger chest, 8-player co-op on PC, and more – that “and more” encompassing perhaps 1.6’s most important addition: hats for cats and dogs.
