And people, this can be a massive one: The replace will embrace an all-new farm sort known as Meadowlands Farm.
Stardew Valley at the moment has seven farm varieties—customary, Riverland, Forest, Hilltop, Wilderness, 4 Corners, and Seashore—every with their very own distinctive advantages, bonuses, and limitations. The addition of an eighth is a really massive deal, as a result of it offers gamers a chance (or excuse) to begin once more in a model new setting. It is also the primary new farm sort to be added to the sport because the Seashore farm in 2020.
- Added a brand new farm sort: Meadowlands Farm. It has a chewy blue grass that animals love. You additionally begin with a coop and two chickens.
This is not completely out of the blue: Barone stated in September 2023 {that a} new farm sort could be one of many massive content material additions within the 1.6 replace. However that is the primary time Barone has shared something about what precisely gamers need to sit up for, and followers are predictably very enthusiastic about it.

Barone has been sharing particular person patch notes from the Stardew Valley 1.6 replace because the center of final week, and most of them have been comparatively minor issues: A change in harvesting animations, as an example, or the addition of a one-week honeymoon interval for newly-married {couples}. At present’s patch notice, by comparability, is an enormous one, although it is missing intimately: With the 1.6 replace set to go stay tomorrow, March 19, Barone clearly saved the perfect for final.
(That stated, “now you can drink mayonnaise” is definitely my favourite of the bunch, and could be the perfect patch notice ever.)
Stardew Valley gamers are clamoring greater than ever to know precisely when the 1.6 replace will go stay. Up to now Barone hasn’t stated, however he did point out final week that, barring any last-minute issues, he plans to get up, slam a espresso, and “push the button.” I am not accustomed to Barone’s sleep schedule, however a lot of the patch notes he is been dropping have appeared on Twitter round 1 pm ET, so I would not be stunned to see the replace arrive at roughly the identical time. We’ll let you understand when it occurs.
