Any Word on 1.7?

As title suggests, is there any ETA on the update? It has been 5 months, and I am just wondering if there is an ETA?


Also, is there any news on what we can expect in the update?
I was wondering the same thing because 1.6 has some glitches in which certain items do not spawn or ger recorded.

Glitches would mean patches to 1.6, not a rush on the 1.7 update. Slow down, use workarounds or just play around the bug for now. (Right now, anything I craft on Switch, I try to do while holding just the require ingredients so nothing else gets consumed. Annoying as I love the workbench, but it's okay to slow down now and then.)

Nope, I don't think it'll happen until at least the release of Haunted Chocolatier
Like he always does, ConcernedApe did not give an ETA for Haunted Chocolatier, nor for update 1.7. However, he said in on HC dev blog, that both can now be developed at the same time, without one delaying the other.

ConcernedApe said:
I have a team who helps me with Stardew Valley updates now (this has been true since the 1.3 update). Unlike the previous updates (in which I was fully, personally locked-in on content development the whole time), with 1.7 I have been trying to take more of a “creative director” role in the team, so that (at least for now) I can focus the vast majority of my attention on Haunted Chocolatier. So far, it’s been pretty good… we are working at a relaxed pace, we have a ton of ideas, and everything has been high quality. Eventually, I will have to spend a little more time focused on Stardew Valley, because in order for me to maintain a full connection to the game, I need my hand to touch every piece of new content. And there are some aspects of content development which I insist on doing myself, like the music. But with our “no release date” approach to the 1.7 update, it’s not certain when that time will come. It might even be after Haunted Chocolatier comes out. (no guarantees though)

Eh a release date will really just put more pressure on him and the team. Won't help the speed but will definitely make things worse. I hope he makes a good game even if it takes time.
