Stardew Valley 1.6 Update to Launch with Major Gameplay Improvements

Scheduled for March 19, the update prioritizes game feel and introduces new content, addressing long-standing issues.

Stardew Valley's upcoming 1.6 update, launching on March 19, introduces significant gameplay improvements, including a fix for a combat issue and a quirky farming bug.
Eric Barone, the game's creator, emphasizes prioritizing 'game feel' over visual accuracy, leading to adjustments in the combat system.
The update also addresses a long-standing bug that made harvesting crops from left to right faster than the opposite direction.
New content such as in-game festivals, additional dialogue, items, outfits, and recipes will be included, alongside a feature allowing pets to wear hats.
Barone continues to work on his next project, Haunted Chocolatier, with no release date announced yet.
