If the Stardew group’s response is any indication of items, it is a giant deal. “FINALLY ALL PURPLE,” one fan responded.
Whilst he did not formally announce the scythe on this tweet, it might imply that the coveted instrument is headed to Stardew Valley’s upcoming 1.6 replace. Barone announced the update in April, and whilst it is going to most commonly come with beef up for modders, it is going to additionally function some new content material (despite the fact that he famous that it’s going to come with lower than the sport’s massive 1.5 update).
He’s additionally taking a smash from creating the Haunted Chocolatier, his subsequent recreation that may come with boss battles and, like Stardew, will accommodate “different playstyles,” to concentrate on creating Stardew’s subsequent replace.
We gave Stardew Valley a 9.5 in our 2018 re-review, praising its fascinating citizens and exploration.
