In brief, a Stardew Valley &#8211; Version 1.7 update is happening!<\/p>\n<p>ConcernedApe: &#8220;Okay, I revealed this at the concert last night and now the cat&#8217;s out of the bag, so I will confirm for everyone: There will be a Stardew Valley 1.7 update. No release date, no estimate. But it&#8217;s happening&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although there&#8217;s currently &#8220;no release date&#8221; and &#8220;no estimate&#8221; about when it could arrive, and it&#8217;s not been revealed what will specifically be added to this next major update, this news already has the Stardew Valley community buzzing.<\/p>\n<p>The last big update for Stardew Valley was the 1.6 update (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2024\/11\/stardew-valley-version-1-6-is-finally-out-now-on-switch\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">which arrived on the Switch in November last year<\/a>). It added multiple new festivals and events, a new farm type, and much more content and improvements. Following this update, multiple other patches were also released, improving and adding to the overall experience.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview earlier this year, Barone was asked about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2025\/05\/stardew-valley-creator-open-to-sequel-but-admits-updates-are-much-easier\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">chances of a sequel to Stardew Valley<\/a>, and admitted at the time it was &#8220;much easier&#8221; to just update the existing gameplay and systems. He&#8217;s also previously stated how he doesn&#8217;t necessarily want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2025\/01\/stardew-valley-creator-doesnt-want-to-close-the-book-on-its-development\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;close the book&#8221; the game&#8217;s development<\/a> even though he&#8217;s now working on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2024\/12\/concernedape-shares-new-development-update-on-haunted-chocolatier\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">new project, Haunted Chocolatier<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When we hear more about this next update for Stardew Valley, we&#8217;ll let you know.
