The image above came from a recent tweet from the developer that had just one sentence with it saying “In Stardew Valley 1.5, there will be splitscreen co-op!” So now you and a friend can play the game together in the same room without requiring two different consoles. Although your field-of-view will be limited to a square. People have already been picking this image apart and have noted a lot of additions that aren’t in the current version of the game. Those include (if they’re accurate) ginger root, beetles on plants, torch placement on fences, a telephone stand, new green chests, new artisan equipment, a Solar Essence statue, what appears to be a TV dinner table, and new clothing options. Hopefully, this image and the attention its getting will spark a release date announcement of some kind. But that’s what we were hoping last time this happened, and that was back in July.
