Stardew Valley, the beloved indie farming simulation game developed by Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special commemorative event.
Since its original release, Stardew Valley has become a massive indie success story, selling millions of copies across platforms and maintaining a vibrant community thanks to consistent updates and passionate support from its developer.
To mark this significant milestone, Barone has announced a special anniversary broadcast packed with exciting content for dedicated fans and newcomers alike. The anniversary video will premiere on June 30, 2024, at 11am Pacific Time (PST).
Viewers around the globe can tune in at the following local times: 12pm MST, 1pm CST, and 2pm EST for North America, 7pm GMT in the UK and Ireland, 8pm CET in Europe, and various times for regions in Asia and Oceania.
The broadcast, expected to run for approximately 23 minutes, promises a blend of nostalgia, insight, and fresh announcements for the decade-old title. Eric Barone confirmed in an official statement that the video will feature a retrospective look at earlier builds of Stardew Valley, accompanied by his commentary.
Barone will also revisit the game's extensive history of free updates, which have steadily expanded gameplay and enriched player experiences.
He emphasized that the broadcast will include a special message to the Stardew Valley community—recognizing the passion and dedication that has helped the game endure over the years. Capping off the anniversary presentation will be one of the most anticipated reveals: two new marriage candidates coming in the upcoming 1.7 update.
Barone had previously hinted at these additions, but the broadcast marks their official introduction to the world.
This news is set to energize the active Stardew Valley fan base and inspire return visits to Pelican Town. Stardew Valley's influence extends well beyond its initial PC launch.
The game has sold millions of copies worldwide and boasts a robust presence on the Nintendo Switch, where it continues to top eShop sales charts.
Most recently, the game began rolling out for the Switch 2, with a special edition and free upgrade for existing players.
As of last week, Barone confirmed that while the Switch 2 version has launched in select regions, it will soon arrive for European and Japanese players via the eShop in the coming weeks.
US-based fans can already access the free upgrade through the American eShop. As Stardew Valley celebrates ten years of impactful game development and community-driven updates, the anniversary broadcast serves both as a heartfelt thank you from its creator and an exciting preview of what’s next.
For the latest updates on Stardew Valley, including full details from the 10th-anniversary video and information on the forthcoming 1.7 update, stay tuned to official channels and major Nintendo news outlets.
