That's great, because currently, we have approximately zero details. Barone teased the new marriage options' existence earlier this month, though he didn't give any more substantial hints about who they are, or how handy they might be with your fishing rod. Now, Barone is following through on his previous commitment to spilling the beans during Stardew Valley's anniversary celebration, writing in an announcement on Twitter that, "in the [to-be-released commemorative video] video, I comment on some pre-release footage, and reveal the 2 new 1.7 marriage candidates at the end.
"See you in the chat."
Stardew Valley 1.7 update will add "2 more marriage candidates," and fans theorize they could be anyone in the farm sim
Stardew Valley fans hope for divorce in the 1.7 update as ConcernedApe's past comments on homewrecking pop back up
Stardew Valley 1.7 update might be as big as the farming sim's last, as ConcernedApe hints there's "lots more" to come
See you in the chat? More like, see you right now in your Twitter replies. In response to some of fans' understandably immediate, breathless questions, Barone clarifies a few more things about Stardew's incoming 1.7 update, which could be its last, and tomorrow's anniversary video. Namely, you'll "never!" need to pay for a Stardew update, and the entire video will be 23 minutes long.
"Man there's no way I can last that long," one fan replies, with church bells no doubt ringing in their head.
"That's fair," Barone responds, acknowledging that he's the one making the church bells chime. "I'll post the reveal of the 2 new marriage candidates here some time after the video is out, so you can learn about it that way too." So romantic.
Stardew Valley patch finally stops unruly Switch 2 port from stealing precious inventory items while crafting, and makes the farming sim "obey" parental controls when you join GameShare.
