Eric Barone, the creator ofStardew Valley, revealed through Twitter today that he is currently working on a couple of new projects. He confirmed that one will take place in the world ofStardew Valley, while the other will simply tie-in to the game somehow.
The news of these projects came through a response to a Twitter user’s query about new games taking place in theStardew Valleyuniverse. Barone says that one will definitely be within the same world players know and love, but it will not be a farming game. The second title appears to still in its planning phases, as Barone states he’s not sure where it will take place. It will, however, still be connected toStardew Valleyin some capacity.

Word spread fast after Barone made this statement. He quickly hopped on Twitter once again to make sure things didn’t spiral out of control. “… all I ask is please don’t get too hyped at this stage,” Barone said, requesting people let him work at his own pace without pressure or expectations. He later added that he isn’t trying to match theimmense success ofStardew Valley, he merely wants to make a game he’s happy with.
For those who still haven’t picked up the title, now is the perfect time to give it a spin.Stardew Valleyis available on every major platform, with the Switch being the most recent to add the game to its library. When it released for Nintendo’s latest console, it became themost downloaded Switch title of 2017, beating out many other hits that year likeSonic Mania.
But even veterans will want to give the game another go at some point. All that happens inStardew Valleyis dependent on a player’s choices, so every playthrough can be vastly different. The game has a surprising amount of depth, and things don’t always pan out perfectly the first time around. Take romance options, for instance. There aregood romances and bad ones, which are mostly determined by how easy it is to increase the relationship and what gifts players get in return, but also on the character’s story and personality.
Stardew Valleywas released in February 2016 and is available on Mac, PC, PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and mobile devices.
