Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone shares information about the upcoming 1.6 update Stardew Valley.
According to the developerThe reason the 1.6 update took so long to release is because it was a bit larger in scope than originally planned. Barone said that all content has been added and the update is currently in the bug fixing and polishing stage.
The update will likely appear on PC first, but Barone doesn’t expect major delays between PC and the console and mobile versions.
Barone went on to say that you can plan on getting an old safe once the app is updated, but the developer recommends starting a new save just to experience everything in context, otherwise, you’ll be “unlocking a bunch of stuff right away as it loads” Your old save because. ” This is because the 1.5 update featured a big new area, while 1.6 adds more content to the old content in the game, as well as “a lot of little things.”
A small amount of information about the 1.6 update has been shared over the past few months, but much of its content remains under wraps.
What we do know is that we’ll be getting a large chest that holds twice as much storage as a normal chest, a major new festival, two mini-festivals, new items and crafting recipes, over 100 new pieces of content, winter clothing for villagers , new types of rewards for completing billboard requests, new farm types, new secrets, PC support for up to eight players in multiplayer, new end-game content that expands on each skill area, and hats for pets.
It has also been suggested that we could upgrade the scythe tool from gold to iridium.
Hopefully a release window will be shared soon.
