Stardew Valley Update 1.7: A New Farm Type and Exciting Social Features on the Horizon

In August, independent developer Eric Barone, more commonly known by his nickname ConcernedApe, announced the development of a significant update, version 1.7, for Stardew Valley. A couple of months later, Barone revealed a few details about the upcoming update in response to a player’s question on former Twitter.

According to him, the 1.7 update will traditionally introduce a new farm type, enhanced social interactions with characters, and «much more.» Naturally, Barone did not disclose all the specifics, leaving fans eagerly awaiting a full announcement.

There is currently no release date for patch 1.7. Some speculate that this might be the last major update; however, Barone admitted earlier this year that he occasionally feels the urge to revisit Stardew Valley.

Meanwhile, it’s important to remember that Barone is also working on his new game, Haunted Chocolatier. There is still no timeline for its release, and ConcernedApe plans to continue its development for as long as necessary.
