Eric Barone, known as ConcernedApe, recently revealed that a new update – version 1.7 – is planned for Stardew Valley, even while he’s currently working on his next game, Haunted Chocolatier. He made the announcement in person at a Stardew Valley orchestral concert, then shared a pixel art message about it on social media. Details about what the 1.7 update will include haven’t been released yet.
The recent announcement of the 1.7 update for *Stardew Valley* was overshadowed by a surprising discovery in the new game *Hollow Knight: Silksong*. Players noticed that Eric Barone, the creator of *Stardew Valley*, is credited in *Silksong*. This is exciting news for fans of indie games, as both *Hollow Knight* and *Stardew Valley* are hugely popular and well-loved. With version 1.7 of *Stardew Valley* in development, some believe a reciprocal collaboration could be in the works.
Eric Barone helped with voice acting for some of the characters, though it’s unknown exactly which ones he played.
Stardew Valley 1.7 Is in the Perfect Position to Pay Tribute to Hollow Knight: Silksong
The 1.7 update for *Stardew Valley* is exciting for players because major updates usually add completely new content. While smaller patches focus on improvements and fixing problems, fans know a new *Stardew Valley* update means fresh things to experience in the game. Even if 1.7 isn’t as large as the 1.6 update, players can always expect some new discoveries.
Stardew Valley Might Reference Silksong in a Small Way
Stardew Valley could subtly reference the upcoming game Hollow Knight: Silksong through some new items. The next update, 1.7, might include furniture like a small statue or a rosary that evokes Silksong’s atmosphere. Alternatively, adding a new silk material would not only expand crafting options but also serve as a quiet tribute to the game.
A crossover between *Stardew Valley* and *Hollow Knight: Silksong* seems promising, but there’s a challenge. Eric Barone, the creator of *Stardew Valley* (ConcernedApe), only voiced a character in *Silksong*. *Stardew Valley* relies on simple sound effects that match its pixelated style, so incorporating more complex sounds like Hornet’s signature cry wouldn’t quite fit the game’s overall feel.
If *Hollow Knight: Silksong* is referenced in *Stardew Valley*, it would likely be through an object or subtle detail related to furniture. However, even a reference wouldn’t quite fit the style of ConcernedApe’s game. Still, it’s very possible *Silksong* will get some kind of in-game nod, much like *Stardew Valley* includes Easter eggs referencing *Terraria*.
As a gamer, I’ve been thinking about the potential connection between *Terraria* and *Silksong*, and it’s pretty cool! *Terraria* has this awesome sword, the Meowmere, and getting it involves doing things that are basically nods to *Hollow Knight*. That got me wondering if *Silksong* might have a similar questline for a unique item – maybe a cool piece of furniture or even a new weapon. With the new *Stardew Valley* update 1.7 coming out soon, it feels like the perfect time for ConcernedApe to sneak in some references. I’m guessing we’ll all be digging through the update as soon as it drops, hoping to find those *Silksong* Easter eggs. So, the biggest thing right now is just waiting for that 1.7 release date!
