Lots of wooden things

Rejoice, people who like hugely popularfarming life-sim gamesand things they can hold and put on shelves:Stardew Valleyis getting a physical PC edition, at last! After four entire years since release! And the goodies it comes with are pretty special, too.

A physical edition ofStardew Valleyfor PC has been teased for a little while now, but the official announcement came last nightvia developer Eric Baroneand Fangamer. This new physical version hasStandard EditionandCollector’s Editionflavours to choose from, and the latter comes with a whole bunch ofstuff.

Pls ignore that the box has a Switch logo. Both editions are available for PC as well.

A document from the Stardew Valley physical edition - The Deed of Land. It has gold foil edging and a gold foil stamp in the bottom right corner. It reads ‘This indenture is made this 1st day of Spring by and between Grandpa (hereinafter ‘Grantor’) and - followed by a blank space for your name - (hereinafter ‘Grantee’). The Grantor, for valuable consideration, conveys and quitclaims to the Grantee, the following described real estate situated in the Stardew Valley region of the Ferngill Republic, together with all after acquired title of the Grantor therein: Land parcel 2016.02.26 located west of Pelican Town limits, know also as - blank space for farm name. Sworn before me on the 1st day of Spring’. It is signed by Mayor Lewis.

As physical editions go, this is a nice one, because it seems like someone thought out what people who like Stardew Valley would actually want. There isn’t any filler stuff like an easily mass produced tote bag or keyring. It’s all nice wooden bits and a cute comic, and I’m 100% certain that once the first run of pre-orders are sent out, it will remain sold out forever and ever and ever.

Physical Stardew Valley will be available for PC and the Nintendo Switch in November. You canpre-order it now from Fangamerfor $29 / $64 depending on the edition you want (and until August 15th pre-ordererers of the Collector’s Edition will get a bonus poster for their trouble), and you can also save $4 on the aforementioned Stardew Valley Guidebook if you buy both at the same time, too.
