Stardew Valley 1.1 Launch Trailer Is Relentlessly Charming
For a game about something as simple as farming and rural life and relationships, Stardew Valley sure has an enthusiastic following, including several members of the Game Informer staff. Our reviewer, Javy Gwaltney, also got a big kick out of the game. Today, developer ConcernedApe released version 1.1 of the popular PC game, and the release plays host to all sort of bug fixes and additions.
As we reported when the beta of the 1.1 patch went live last week, players now have new relationship options with Shane and Emily, new maps available at character creation, and lots of new structures, activity options, and NPC behaviors. In addition, around 30 distinct bugs have been squashed, improving the overall play experience. You can read about the full list of improvements and fixes on the developer's official page.
Curious if it’s worth diving into the new content? Check out the trailer below for a taste of what farm life has to offer this harvest season.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
