Eric “Worry Monkey” Barone, author Stardew Valleycame back to talk aboutUpdate 1.6 We definitely love the game, which confirms that it will be released in 2024 and states that it is quite comprehensive. bigger than expected Firstly.
Currently, work on Update 1.6 focuses on: testingWe're trying to get as “clean” a version as possible, but given the amount of items added with this update, this phase will also take time.
There's no exact timeframe yet for this update to launch, but most of the work should be done at this point. The author has already reported last month that he has made a lot of progress and is in a good place.
The update should be almost ready
“The size of 1.6 ended up being a bit larger than I originally thought,” Barone wrote, citing the update's “breath” of being larger on several levels.
“I've just finished adding new content and we're in the bug fixing phase Clear, will remain here until the game is ready for launch. Thanks for your patience, it will be fun to watch us play!”
At this point there should be no doubt that the update will be released in 2024 after various delays, but we are still waiting for more information. Meanwhile, the author is also working on his new game, Haunted Chocolatier, which has something in common with Strade Valley in terms of style but should represent a very different experience.
