1.7 Will be Stardew Valley’s Biggest Update

A few days ago at the final Stardew Valley concert, ConcernedApe let us know two things:
1. The 1.7 update will be the largest update yet
2. It’ll probably be coming in 2027

Let’s talk about it.

  1. I also wasn’t expecting a huge update. A decently sized one, for sure, but knowing it’s the BIGGEST? I honestly can’t even conceive what all it’ll be and that just adds to the fun intrigue; the new area idea is super plausible and makes a lot of sense to me. I imagine if the children get a huge update that could add a lot of stuff to the game as well

  2. One day, I want to love working on a project as much as ConcernedApe loves working on Stardew 💖 the fact that he continues to put so much effort and love into this game makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside lol

  3. I hope it is a new area because after 1.6 the valley is starting to feel a bit crowded, what with fishing festivals and racooms and what not. I REALLY hope we get rebalanced hoppers, easy inventory stacking, that kind of QoL thing!!!!

  4. sal, you forget that he said something about the family expansion. we might be getting CHILDREN. not toddlers, but CHILDREN. with randomized gift preferences!! and DIALOGUE

  5. god I just really admire concerned apes dedication to this game even after 10 years of release, he could have easily locked all these updates behind paid dlc like many other cozy games out there today but there are just free… forever, you can really feel just how much work and love he has poured into this game which is even more impressive when you remember he has an entire OTHER game he is currently working on. So happy to see this game still succeeding and receiving regular updates to this day how many other games can say that

  6. if its the biggest that allows us to daydream, im going to guess that besides zuzu city there's going to be a change in the friendship dynamics, he always talks about how thats something that he would like to change

  7. Honestly all i wish for is the ability to use/create texture packs like Minecraft or Terraria. There are so many talented artists in the SV community I'm sure they would love it! I know mods do that exact thing but it would be nice to have it integrated into the base game.
