Summary

You're moving to the valley...

You've inherited your grandfather's old farm plot in Stardew
Valley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out
to begin your new life. Can you learn to live off the land and turn
these overgrown fields into a thriving home? It won't be easy. Ever
since Joja Corporation came to town, the old ways of life have all
but disappeared. The community center, once the town's most vibrant
hub of activity, now lies in shambles. But the valley seems full of
opportunity. With a little dedication, you might just be the one to
restore Stardew Valley to greatness!

Languages: English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese
and Chinese.

Update Notes: v1.4.2 (v393216). Firmware 9.1.0 is required.

ConcernedApe has long been working on the 1.4 content update for
Stardew Valley. We now have another update from the developer with
latest details along with more news on when we can expect it on
Switch.

Here's the lowdown from ConcernedApe:

Now, the next big thing for Stardew Valley is going to be the free
1.4 update, which adds a pretty big variety of new things to
Stardew Valley. One of my main goals with 1.4 was to finally
"polish" the game to the degree that I've always wanted. What I
mean by that is that I wanted to fix all the bugs that have been
lingering in the game, to fix a lot of weird or annoying things
about the controls & feel of the game, and add in a lot of "quality
of life" features that will make the game more seamless to play. I
feel pretty confident that this goal has been met!

Content-wise, nearly every aspect of the game has been expanded or
improved upon in some way.

One small example is the Wild Bait... which used to be essentially
worthless... but now gives you a chance to catch double fish.

There's a lot of little things like that, where I felt that the
game had some holes or weak points that could use a little boost.

Another example, is that every spouse now has a unique 14-heart
event after marriage:

There is more end-game stuff like that to keep things going a
little further after you've completed everything. I don't want to
spoil very much, so you'll just have to wait and see for yourself!

1.4 is currently in the final stages, just doing some last minute
tweaks and fixing the rare bug...

My goal is for the update to release on consoles & mobile
simultaneously a few weeks after PC. Once 1.4 has a little more
testing on these platforms, I hope to give a solid release date for
them.

Miscellaneous:

Also, the 1.4 update marks the first time in Stardew's history
where I've worked on new content with other people. After 7 years
of working completely solo, I formed a small team earlier this year
to help me continue working on Stardew Valley. Originally, my plan
was to do 1.4 completely solo, but the timing of it all didn't work
out that way, so 1.4 ended up being a team project. It's all very
small scale (1.4 was made with the help of 2 other people, and the
team is currently just me and one other person), but having some
help (particularly on the technical/programming side of things) is
nice & will be good for Stardew Valley. It means that there will be
a lot more in each update than I could do alone. I am still working
on an unannounced project completely solo, though, with no plans to
bring anyone else on.

ConcernedApe says that version 1.4 "has some optimization
improvements that should make performance better on consoles".

This update not only adds new content and features to the game, but
improves the gameplay experience significantly with tons of
"quality of life" features... including some things the community
has requested for a long time. There's also an enormous amount of
bug fixes and some optimizations improvements - in short, the game
is more polished than ever. I hope this update will greatly improve
your Stardew Valley experience, and make your time in the valley
even more joyful, seemless, and fun.
