The announcement comes on the heels of Stardew Valley celebrating its eighth anniversary, with Barone expressing gratitude to the community for the game's continued success. The press site update also revealed that Stardew Valley has sold an impressive 30 million copies across various platforms, with over 19 million copies on PC alone since its launch eight years ago.
What to Expect
While Barone has kept many of the upcoming features under wraps, he has teased several exciting additions to the beloved farming simulator. Among them are a new farm layout, eight-player multiplayer support, and the possibility of an iridium scythe. Fans can also anticipate hats for their in-game pets. However, Barone hinted that a majority of the update's content will remain a secret until closer to the launch date.
The announcement marks the culmination of almost a year of development, during which Barone took a break from working on his new game, Haunted Chocolatier, to focus on enhancing the Stardew Valley experience. The update promises to bring fresh content and improvements, keeping the game vibrant and engaging for its dedicated player base.
