There's already more than enough to do and enjoy in Stardew Valley, but game creator ConcernedApe isn't done yet.
A new Version 1.4 update for the game has just become available for PC, Mac, and Linux, with Switch and other consoles set to follow "soon". The update brings plenty of quality-of-life features, bug fixes, and optimisation improvements, but there's also some exciting new content to discover.
Immediately jumping out to us is the tease of a new end-game mystery, which apparently involves an abandoned building. We don't know any more than that and wouldn't want to spoil it for you if we did, but it sounds intriguing.
More character events have also been added including a new 14-heart event for every spouse; the addition of Fish Ponds (a new farm building where you can raise fish and harvest items from them); a new farm map called Four Corners which is ideal for co-op players who want their own quadrant to live in; and plenty more besides. You can check out all of the changes here, although be warned that you'll see some game spoilers.
Do you play the game regularly? Still as hooked today as you ever were? Let us know if you're looking forward to seeing this update on Switch with a comment below.

Hopefully it's stable
@JayJ I hope so too. My only comfort is that I like how ConcernedApe pushes updates. He usually develops an update until it's pretty stable and then rolls it out. (Unlike some other companies cough Microsoft cough)
If something goes wrong, he gets right on and fixes it. Not to mention he has a small team helping him this time around so it'll be quicker. It'll probably be fine.
I'm having a bit of deja vu with this article.
Anyway, can't wait to get the update on my switch and iPad.
Perfect time to start a new farm then. I regret choosing the fishing farm on my first one...
Didn't this same article just get posted on here?
I hope the fish ponds means I never have to manually fish as I could never get the hang of that.
Cool. Can we have a physical now?
Yeah, for some reason I feel like I'm having memory loss as echoed by others.
But UGH! I was just considering divorcing Alex but now looks like I'll be stuck with him until the update to see that 14 heart event, haha. 😧
Cross-platform play is the thing they need to add most, IMHO!! I just wanna play this with the lady using my laptop without having to shell out for another Switch, lol.
@PharoneTheGnome
Yeah but it's an update you see ?
V 1.4 of the article.
@gspro15198 you still need to catch the fish to put them in your pond, though
