Stardew Valley Creator to Unveil New Marriage Candidates in Anniversary Video Tomorrow

Eric Barone, the creator behind Stardew Valley known as ConcernedApe, has announced that he will release a special video tomorrow to mark the game's 10-year anniversary. The video, set to premiere at 11am PST, will feature commentary on pre-release footage and conclude with the reveal of two new marriage candidates coming in the upcoming 1.7 update.

In a post on Twitter/X, ConcernedApe shared: "I made a video for tomorrow's 10-year Stardew Valley Anniversary, it will 'premiere' tomorrow at 11am PST. In the video, I comment on some pre-release footage, and reveal the 2 new 1.7 marriage candidates at the end. See you in the chat." He included a link to the YouTube premiere.

This announcement is particularly exciting for fans, as Stardew Valley has not introduced new romantic options since its early days. Players have long speculated about the possibility of marrying characters like Robin, Sandy, the Wizard, or Marlon. It remains unclear whether the new candidates will be existing villagers with expanded storylines or entirely new characters, though many in the community lean toward the former.

Earlier this month, in an interview celebrating the anniversary, ConcernedApe confirmed that two new marriage candidates were planned for the 1.7 update. The interview also covered other topics, such as the absence of a Stardew Valley TV show and a remaining secret yet to be discovered by the community. Fans can look forward to the video premiere tomorrow for more details on these highly anticipated additions.
