According to the developer behind the immensely popular farming sim Stardew Valley which is out now on Switch, work on the new content has wrapped up and he is now focussing on tweaking the co-op mode. Eric Barone mentioned that the multiplayer feature was in the pipeline back when the title released but his latest tweets suggest that we could see it soon. As soon as the patch comes out we’ll be sure to let you know!
4-player Stardew Valley LAN party at my house… it's really fun. It still needs some work, but the underlying network code is solid. Being in the same room and yelling at each other about what to do next, or if anyone has any stone, is great fun. Can't wait to share this pic.twitter.com/Sjxyd712BK

Also, I'm finished with the new content and have shifted all my attention to getting multiplayer ready!

I cannot wait for this update to be released. It’ll be great to play this game together with my girlfriend.
So, will you two be getting married? I mean in game, of course.
Ha, interesting question. That would be pretty clever if Eric Barone implements a feature allowing players to marry each other in the game.
I’ll be able to force my sister to play with me. Mwahaha. (She never plays Harvest Moon style games bc she says that the farming is too hard. So I’ll do the farming and she can take care of the livestock. ;b)
Now she’ll have NO more excuses…
MWAHAHAHAHA.
It’s a very good game, hope they stay with 2D without jumping to an expressionless 3D, like many do, with its inevitable sequel.
