Wanna really feel outdated? Stardew Valley is 4 years outdated. That’s proper, it has been nicely over 4 years since one of many best-selling and most beloved games of the era launched out of nowhere and made lone-wolf developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone a really rich man. By conventional requirements, 4 years is roughly when a sequel to a preferred game releases, however Stardew Valley is not most games.
Speaking a few hypothetical sequel, Barone has left the door open, however for now, he isn’t prepared to verify or decide to something. In truth, Barone is not even able to decide to an replace past the massive upcoming 1.5 replace for the game.
While Barone is not making any commitments, he does suggests he isn’t fairly completed with the collection or the game’s universe. Meanwhile, what he can verify is a sequel is not at the moment in growth.
“I’m not willing to commit to Stardew Valley 1.6,” mentioned Barone whereas talking to Game Informer. “I will say that I definitely love Stardew Valley. I love it as a world and a universe. I don’t think [1.5] will be the end of Stardew Valley. I would not be surprised if there’s another Stardew Valley update, or multiple updates, or a Stardew Valley 2. Who knows? There isn’t currently a Stardew Valley 2; after 1.5, I’ll decide what the next step for Stardew Valley is. But I would say there will probably be another step for Stardew Valley. In the meantime, I’m also working on a couple of new projects – solo projects – so I have plenty to do.”
As for what these “new tasks” are, Barone would not say, however it sounds that, like Stardew Valley, they are going to be labors of affection and solo tasks.
Unfortunately, given Barone’s obvious choice to develop games solo, it seemingly means we can’t be seeing a Stardew Valley sequel anytime quickly.
