Stardew Valley 1.7 Is Set To Be The Largest Update In The Game's History

Eric Barone, the developer behind Stardew Valley, used the final night of the Symphony of Seasons concert tour at Red Rocks, Colorado on October 25 to say the 1.7 update is the largest in the game's history.

Why it matters

Barone has been publicly splitting his time between Stardew Valley updates and Haunted Chocolatier, so a 1.7 he calls the game's biggest, with a release pencilled in for next year, settles how much of his schedule the farm sim still holds.

Key Facts

  • Eric Barone said Stardew Valley 1.7 is the largest update in the game's history.
  • Barone spoke at the final Symphony of Seasons concert at Red Rocks, Colorado on October 25.
  • Clint and Sandy are new marriage candidates in 1.7, and Barone said they are just the tip of the iceberg.
  • Barone said the 1.7 update is planned for release sometime next year.
  • Barone said his creative director role on Stardew Valley will not affect Haunted Chocolatier's development period.

He said the new marriage candidates Clint and Sandy are just the tip of the iceberg, and that the update is planned for release sometime next year.

Barone announced the 1.7 update at the Seattle leg of Symphony of Seasons in August, and details followed in February, when he confirmed Clint and Sandy as new marriage candidates and an expansion of the children system. The Red Rocks date closed the tour on October 25, and he marked the game's 10th anniversary there while saying this is not the end of it.

He also addressed Haunted Chocolatier. Stardew Valley updates were originally handled by a small team, and Barone now works in a creative director role, so the 1.7 work will not stretch the new game's development period.
