The creator of Stardew Valley, known as ConcernedApe, has reached out once again. He decided to share how things are going with the upcoming 1.6 update.
As it turns out, the creator of Stardew Valley slightly exceeded his original expectations:
“1.6 ended up being a little larger in scope than originally planned. However, I’m done adding new content to it now, and it’s in a bug-fixing and polishing phase until it’s ready for release. Thanks for your patience. It’ll be fun to see everyone play it!”.
Regarding the release date: when asked whether he would release the 1.6 update for Stardew Valley in 2024, ConcernedApe answered “Yes, absolutely.”
