Stardew Valley has officially announced the 1.6 update and stated that it will include some useful changes for the modding community.

New Festivals

This update will add three new festivals, two of which are "mini festivals." This is technically a festival, but it works a bit differently from the other festivals in the valley and doesn't require the entire map to be closed off.

New Farm Layout

Along with the three festivals, a brand new farm layout is coming.

More New Content

Stardew Valley currently has plenty of late-game and end-game content, from exploring the mines to pursuing 100% perfection. This update will bring more content, including expanded skills.

New Items

ConcernedApe has added a few new item icons, including a new Warp Totem, a purple drink, and something that looks like a quiver.

NPC Outfits

There are dozens of Stardew Valley mods that adjust NPC outfits and dialogue and give them a bit more life. It's officially coming to the game. In addition to over 100 new dialogue options, villagers will have unique Winter outfits.

Multiplayer Will Be Supported

The 1.6 update will expand multiplayer mode and support up to eight players on PC.

Billboard Rewards
