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

In August, the independent developer Eric Barone, better known by his alias ConcernedApe, announced the development of the global update 1.7 for Stardew Valley. A couple of months later, Barone revealed a few details about the upcoming update in response to a player inquiry on X (formerly Twitter).

According to him, update 1.7 will traditionally include a new type of farm, additional social interactions with characters, and «much more.» Naturally, Barone did not disclose all the specifics, so fans will have to await a full announcement.

There is currently no release date for patch 1.7. Some speculate that this may be the last major update, but Barone admitted earlier this year that he sometimes feels the urge to return to Stardew Valley.

Meanwhile, we shouldn’t forget that Barone is also working on his new game, Haunted Chocolatier. There is still no release timeframe for it, and ConcernedApe is committed to developing it «for as long as it takes.»
