Stardew Valley Update 1.6 in the Works and it Will be Appreciated by Modders

Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone has taken to Twitter to announce that he's actively working on Stardew Valley update 1.6.

As most of you will know, Barone, also known as ConcernedApe on Twitter, is working on his next game Haunted Chocolatier, but Barone has said that he's taking a short break from it in favor of a new patch for his previous game - Stardew Valley. Although not as large as Stardew Valley update 1.5, this upcoming update will include several changes for modders alongside new game content. As for the new game content, Barone revealed that there would be new dialogues with the arrival of the new patch. More details about this upcoming new update haven't been shared just yet.

"There is going to be a Stardew 1.6 update", Barone wrote on Twitter. "It's mostly changes for modders (which will make it easier & more powerful to mod). But there is also new game content, albeit much less than 1.5. I'm taking a break from Haunted Chocolatier to work on this at the moment. Then back to [Haunted Chocolatier].

The major 1.5 update for Stardew Valley was released for PC several years ago. The update later made its way to consoles as well. Among other things, this update added a new world area and new farm features.

Stardew Valley was first released in 2016 before coming to consoles and other devices. As of last year, more than 20 million copies of the game were sold across all platforms. In this open-ended country-life RPG, players inherit a farm to set out in their new farm-life.

Stardew Valley is available globally now on Steam, GOG, Humble, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, iOS, and Android. As said, the game's creator is now also working on RPG/simulation game Haunted Chocolatier in which players play as a chocolatier living in a haunted castle. Players will be required to gather rare ingredients, make delicious chocolates, and sell them in a chocolate shop.
