Stardew Valley update 1.6 is on the way, with more new content than we first expected

in a update on twitter From ConcernedApe itself, it turns out that the Stardew Valley 1.6 update will feature a lot more new content than we initially expected.

In April, Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) announced that he would be pausing development on his new game, Haunted Chocolatier, to work on a final update for Stardew Valley. Barone explained that this update would primarily feature “changes for modders” and new game content, though “much less than [update] 1.5”

Well, given Barone’s latest tweet, it looks like this developer might have gotten carried away with the next Stardew Valley update. Although, I’m not complaining.

In Stardew Valley 1.6, players can expect a new festival, new items, more dialogue, secrets, and a mysterious “???” which could literally mean anything. Barone hasn’t delved into the details of what players will experience when version 1.6 arrives, but any seasoned Stardew Valley fan knows we won’t be disappointed.

Stardew Valley is a wonderful farming sim, and one of the best cooperative games, that I bought years ago and have never looked back. Since then, I’ve managed farms on PC, mobile, and Nintendo Switch, continually coming back to the game for a good time. Without updates, the allure of this game would still draw me back again and again, and years after its initial release, secrets about the game are still being uncovered.

The fact that ConcernedApe has continued to update the game with new events, dialogue, and lots of secrets is a huge plus. Stardew Valley, as many fans will say, is the game that just keeps on giving.

While I am looking forward to Haunted Chocolatier, which will likely resume development after Stardew Valley 1.6, I am heartened to see the amount of passion that has gone into this game. That said, it’s not certain when Stardew Valley 1.6 will be released, but let’s hope it’s soon.

Are you looking forward to Stardew Valley 1.6, and if so, what are you hoping to see?
