Can’t stop, won’t stop
The continued love and affection forStardew Valleyhas exceeded all expectations. Four years after launch, creator Eric Barone is working on yet another content update. He’s cooking up version 1.5.
“Thanks everyone for theStardew Valleyfour-year anniversary wishes,” he said today on Twitter. “It’s been a pleasure, and I look forward to another great year! Now that 1.4 is out on all intended platforms, I’d like to announce that there will be another free content update (1.5)…it’s currently in the works!”
I’m kind of at a loss. Since the introduction offish ponds, I feel like I’ve almost run out of requests. There are still so many facets ofStardew ValleyI need to explore more thoroughly – especially relationships.
Where do we go from here? Whereshouldwe go from here?
My big, not-gonna-happen-but-I-still-hope-it-will wish is forStardew Valleyto get split-screen support or some form of local co-op. “I don’t think that’s going to be possible, for technical reasons,” Baronesaidon Twitter. He added that he has “no plans for paid DLC” and 1.5 will have “lots of new content.”
Stardew Valleyis Barone’s legacy at this point, and it seems like he’ll do everything in his power to make sure this game stands the test of time. It’s a masterclass in long-term support and community building.
It may take some patience, but update 1.5 will work its way to PC, consoles, and mobile.
