Stardew Valley 1.6 Update Could Include This Feature

Hey there, farm fanatics and Stardew Valley aficionados! Put on your straw hats and sharpen those tools because we’re about to dig into some juicy, unconfirmed rumors. Most of us have grown to love the glow of iridium tools filling our toolbars. Every tool has an iridium upgrade, adding that shiny purple hue to our collection… except one. Yes, our trusty scythe has always been left out of the iridium upgrade club. But not for long, with this news about the Stardew Valley 1.6 update!

Fans have been feeling a little frustrated that they couldn’t get an iridium scythe. The scythe has forever remained an outcast in our iridium collection, with only its standard or gold variant to boast. However, hold your horses because this might be changing soon.

Last Wednesday, our favorite video game developer and creator of Stardew Valley, Eric Barone (also known as ConcernedApe), sent the community into a frenzy. His teasing tweet hinted at the possibility of the much-awaited iridium scythe finally making its debut.

The Stardew community reacted with delight. Shouts of “FINALLY ALL PURPLE” could almost be heard across the virtual farming community. And who can blame us for this excitement?

While ConcernedApe didn’t confirm the iridium scythe in his cryptic tweet, we’re picking up what he’s putting down. This tweet might be hinting at the much-desired tool arriving in the highly-anticipated Stardew Valley 1.6 update.

In April, Barone announced that he’d started developing this update. Primarily, it’s going to support our tireless modding community, with some new content thrown into the mix. However, Barone warned fans not to expect an update as sizable as the colossal 1.5 update.

Interestingly, Barone is hitting the pause button on his exciting project, Haunted Chocolatier, to focus on the Stardew Valley 1.6 update. If you’re unfamiliar with Haunted Chocolatier, it promises thrilling gameplay and diverse playstyles, much like Stardew.

Whether it’s the thrill of farming, the excitement of exploring the mines, or the joy of building relationships with the Pelican Town residents, there’s something for everyone.
