ConcernedApe hasn’t finished consuming every waking moment of your life withStardew Valleyjust yet. Plans for future updateshave been unveiled, and there’s a hell of a lot there to drag you back to your happy little farm.

Basically, if you like the NPCs, this new update will let you do more things to more of them. As there isn’t a date for when this update will drop yet, everything listed could be subject to change.

ConcernedApe has also outlined some of the new things that will be coming a little bit further down the line: console ports, Mac/Linux versions, non-English localisations, merchandise (branded seeds, please), and most importantly of all, co-op multiplayer.

Work has already begun on the multiplayer mode, as publisher Chucklefish has taken over the technical side of things. This frees up time for ConcernedApe to finish V1.1 and get started on the rest of the list, so while there is no confirmed release date for anything just yet, it can’t be too far off.

Stardew Valleywas an instant success, and as of last month has alreadypassed onemillionsales. For a PC indie game about farming and smooching cute doctors, that sure is impressive. Glad to see some of that success is being pumped straight back into making the game even better!
