Excitement for the Stardew Valley 10th anniversary festivities began last year when creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone revealed his plans for another farm-sim update, but today is the game's actual big milestone. It's officially been a decade since Stardew Valley launched on February 26, 2016—can you believe it?

The realization has turned me to dust, but I'm handling it. Stardew Valley fans mostly seem to be in the same boat, delighting in the day's update news, event plans, and celebratory merch. I originally planned to ignore that last bit, but there's a Pelican Town desk mat, and I'm weak.

Anyway, I've got a list going of all the Stardew Valley 10th anniversary announcements from the day's festivities. You can check out our on-going Stardew Valley 1.7 hub for more in-the-weeds details on the update itself, but I'll hit the highlights here.

We knew Barone had a special reveal planned for the day, but just before the farming sim's birthday, he announced the Stardew Valley anniversary retrospective. Most of the 23-minute video is a quick timeline chronicling various iterations of the game before and after launch, but Barone ended the tribute with a reveal:

You'll be able to marry Clint and Sandy in the Stardew Valley 1.7 update.

Barone's cheeky announcement starts around the 20-minute mark, where you'll see him dramatically tear open an envelope to reveal his handwritten "Clint & Sandy" sign.

It's an endearing half-hour with the Stardew Valley creator as he talks through some of his development journey, and it's just nice to see someone so earnest and excited over their next big thing. Farming diehards may know most of the developer stories from the lookback, but I'd never heard of Stardew Valley's 'underground goblin village' that was scrapped before launch. Eric, I think we should revisit that idea.

There's also a special date planned for the Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons concert series. The one-off anniversary performance will take place at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on October 25, 2026, with ticket sales starting on March 2 at 10 am MT.



Symphony of Seasons is where Barone made his 1.7 update announcement, so I could see why hungry Stardew players would keep the show on th...Read more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
