Stardew Valley creator Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone revealed earlier this yr that he’d be taking a break from new title Haunted Chocolatier for one final minor replace. On the time, Barone acknowledged that this replace was primarily to assist mod assist, but it surely appears as if he could have gotten a bit of bit carried away. A brand new detailed breakdown of every little thing that is going to be added to Stardew Valley within the 1.6 replace was launched earlier right now, and it is fairly beefy.
For starters, this replace will add one new main pageant, in addition to two mini festivals that you’ll partake in all through annually, although it isn’t revealed precisely what every pageant will entail. A bunch of latest late-game content material is being added too, which can “increase on every of the talent areas”, in addition to new gadgets and crafting recipes. We are able to see small pictures of this stuff within the tweet itself, and followers have already got their detective hats on attempting to determine what they may do.
Should you assume that is every little thing, you are sorely mistaken. A bunch of latest Joja different choices will probably be accessible throughout sure end-game quests for all of you that love that Joja life, over 100 new traces of dialogue are being added, and villagers are actually being given particular Winter outifts so they do not need to freeze of their common apparel. These Winter outfits are superbly proven off by Sebastian and Jas within the tweet itself.
We’re saving a few of the greatest additions till final although, because it was additionally revealed that replace 1.6 will probably be including a thriller new farm kind, in addition to an official 8 participant multiplayer mode on PC that can allow you to play with a bunch of mates. For these accustomed to Stardew Valley, you will know that modders have already found out multiplayer extensively, but it surely’s good to have an official choice in the event you’re extra of a vanilla participant.
After all, it would not be an Eric Barone improvement replace with out some trace of thriller, as he revealed that replace 1.6 can even add “new secrets and techniques and extra”. Completely no hints as to what these secrets and techniques may be or whether or not they have something to do with Haunted Chocolatier, however I am certain it will not take gamers very lengthy to smell them out.
Sadly, we nonetheless do not have a launch date for this replace, as Barone acknowledged from the highest that that is only a sneak peek of what is to return. Contemplating this feels much more like a full-blown enlargement moderately than a easy replace like was beforehand promised, I am certain Stardew Valley followers will not thoughts a bit of longer.
