澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley creator reveals the farming sim is "thriving more thꦅan ever" and has sold 30 million copies. 

On February 26, Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone finally revealed what fans have been waiting for - the release date for the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Stardew Valley 1.6 update. In a serieꩵs of tweets, the developer not only shared the update's March release date but also took the opportunity to celebrate Stardew Valley's 8th anniversary. 

Reflecting on the game's trajectory since its launch in 2016, Barone writes: "With a new update on the horizon, a worldwide concert tour underway, an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:official cookbook coming soon, and now over 30 million copies sold, Stardew Valley is thriving more than ever. As al🐲ways, I'm eternallꦓy grateful to the players (you!) for making all of this possible."

It's no secret that Stardew Valley has really taken off recently. Every day we're finding new games that have been compared to ConcernedApe's sim, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Dreaming Isles, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Southfield, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Rusty's Retirement, and several more. Even unofficial mods for Stardew Valley have seen massive amounts of success, like 'Stardew Valley Expanded' which recently 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:celebrated two million downloads on PC alone.

Part of Stardew Valley's success could be down to the amount of content fans have got, and are still getting, for it. Late last year, Barone revealed that the reason why he keeps working on his farming sim is because 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:it's his "life's work" and he "cares a lot" about it. The developer cares so much in fact, he's previously said the only way he'd allow a Stardew Valley movie to be made is ifไ animation studio Studio Ghibli or di𒐪rector David Lynch were attached to it. 

The good news is that Stardew Valley isn't the only game ConcernedApe is working on. Alongside the huge 1.6 update, the developer is also working on a new game called 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Haunted Chocolatier as well as 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:another "new project" that's yet to be announced.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  My expertise lies in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingd꧙om Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
