Stardew Valley multiplayer beta and PS Vita port coming early 2018

From a developer blog by Chucklefish’s Molly Carroll more updates on the status of Stardew Valley's multiplayer have been revealed, along with a port for the PS Vita. Both of these updates have been slated for early 2018. However, the multiplayer update will not be coming to the PS Vita version of Stardew Valley. You can read more about these updates below.

So, multiplayer is coming along nicely! Tom is working on implementing marriage between players, and recently finished up working on festivals. Now you’ll have someone to dance with at the Flower Dance, even if you’ve yet to win over any of the residents of Pelican Town.

We had been planning to launch a multiplayer beta before the end of this year, but we’re pushing that beta back to Q1 2018 in order to make room for polish and QA.

A number of people have been curious about the PS Vita port we mentioned way back in January, and I’m happy to announce that a PS Vita port is actually happening! It’ll be available next year, and it’ll have cross-buy too, so if you’ve got Stardew Valley on Playstation 4 you won’t need to buy it again to play it on your PS Vita! However, it’s worth noting that we can’t port the multiplayer update to PS Vita.

Additionally, more language support will be added to the game with French, Italian, Korean and Turkish localizations coming in 2018 as well. New content was teased too as an underwater fishing area was shown in a new image posted to the developer blog.
