‘Stardew Valley’ Confirmed For Switch, Multiplayer Mode Incoming!

Briefly: Yes!

Stardew Valley is a game that has taken my television by storm. I picked up the game as a Christmas gift for my fiancé, and while I’ve played the fantastic title for a few hours myself, my non-gamer fiancé has just cleared 60 hours played (and in fact, is playing as I write this).

She’s completed hooked, and while developer ConcernedApe noted late last year that he was looking into a Nintendo Switch version of the game, that version became official during today’s Nindies presentation (which also brought some much appreciated news from Team17, among others).

Now, while a Nintendo Switch version of the game is a little terrifying (if she can bring the game to bed and the bathroom, I’ll never get to see her or the Switch), Nintendo also revealed that the Wii U version will be the first console to feature the game’s long wished for, often ‘maybe’d multiplayer mode.

To be able to play Stardew Valley at the same time, on the same console, with the same farm? Damn. The game was already on my best-of list for 2016… could it make my 2017 list too?

Stardew Valley is coming to #NintendoSwitch, and will be the first console to support the new multiplayer feature. Look for it in 2017! pic.twitter.com/3dYNmwGPFA
