Summary
Stardew Valleyfans have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming year. For one, the highly anticipated 1.6 update that ConcernedApe has been working on should be ready to go at some point during the year, though this isn’t the only thing waiting forStardew Valleyfans in 2024. From a concert to merch, there is a lot thatStardew Valleyfans should be excited about.
One thing that always excites the community is discovering new and fun puzzles that ConcernedApe has hidden in the game.Stardew Valleyfans have already found many in-game secrets, one of the most common beingMayor Lewis' golden statue. However, the developer promises that even more fun secrets will be added to the game, which leaves fans waiting anxiously to see what is on its way.
New Festivals in Stardew Valley’s 1.6 Update
Stardew Valleyplayers already have a good few festivals in game. Each has their own events and fun dialogues for players to enjoy when the time comes. But with the new update expected in 2024, there will be 3 brand-new festivals - one big one and two smaller ones. Taking theStardew ValleyNight Marketinto account as an event during winter, it might be possible that these new festivals go to each of the other seasons to give three festivals each month.
The developer also promises winter sprites, even joking that Shane’s winter outfit will be “JojaMart’s finest garments” in a tweet. While these could be fun new additions meant to bring some more life to the cold season, it’s just as likely that a small winter festival at the start of the month may cause the need for the outfits. Fans will have to wait and see what gets added toStardew Valley’s winter. But the new sprites aren’t all that’s being added to freshen things up. New dialogue will be added to the game, which presents the possibility of old festivals having their dialogue upgraded too.
Though the updated dialogue is on the table, it should be noted that this is speculation. There is not a lot confirmed compared to what has been teased. Some things should be taken with a grain of salt, as certain aspects are subject to change as well.
Minor Changes Coming in Stardew Valley’s 1.6 Update
Stardew Valleyfans have a lot of big things to look forward to, but the little things shouldn’t be discredited either. Its developer promises a bigger chest that can hold twice as much asregularStardew Valleychests. This will save players some serious organization time and allow players to keep more items as the years go on during their playthroughs.
Speaking of farms, ConcernedApe also says fans can expect a new type of farm to be playable when first creating the save file. Though little has been said about thenewStardew Valleyfarm type, some speculate that it might have something to do with PC players having support for an 8-player farm, another teased update to the game. A new, presumably larger farm would surely be fun and full of resources, even if players used it by themselves.
