Stardew Valley creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone has shed more light on what content will be added to the game's 1.6 update.

Barone last revealed information on update 1.6 in July where he simply hinted there would be new festivals, items, dialogue, and secrets. The update has been in development for over a year and was initially described by Barone as "modding-focused".

Yesterday, Barone released more information on content in update 1.6, though reminded fans it's still in development. Major additions in 1.6 includes a new festival, late-game content, and support for up to eight player multiplayer on PC.

Here's everything Barone has listed for 1.6:

A new major festivalTwo new mini festivalsNew late-game content, which expands on each of the skill areasNew items and crafting recipesJoja alternatives to some of the end-game quests100+ new lines of dialogueWinter outfits for the villagersNew type of reward for completing billboard requestsSupport for eight player multiplayer on PC onlyMany small additions and adjustmentsNew farm typeNew secrets and more

Barone did not say when update 1.6 is expected to drop, so we'll have to keep waiting for a release date announcement. Barone was working on Stardew Valley 1.6 alongside development of his new game, Haunted Chocolatier, but earlier this year paused progress on his next project to focus on Stardew Valley.
