Stardew Valley, the casual pixel-based farm simulator that surprised fans with its surprising amount of depth, received its highly anticipated 1.4 update today. It comes with an array of new features, such as new quests, new items, additional music soundtracks, character customization options, and building options.
For those who take a closer look at the 1.4 patch notes, this update feels like more akin to an expansion pack than a simple update.
A partial downside of the update is it will not make its way to console or mobile quite yet. The developer, ConcernedApe, is a team of one, and as such has only made it available to PC players at this time. There is no exact timetable for the mobile or console 1.4 update just yet, but the rollout for 1.3 took months, so don’t get your hopes up just yet if you’re not a PC player.
The 1.4 update adds an end-game quest involving an abandoned building that ConcernedApe has left up to the community to discover and learn how to access.
Players can change also their character with new clothing through the tailor system. There are several new helpful items to use around the farm, and the player can double the interior size of their shed.
We’ve shared the complete patch notes below, but do be warned: there are spoilers filling in the full patch notes. If players would prefer to avoid spoilers, make sure to check out the spoiler-free post ConcernedApe posted to his website.
