Hope you’re all bananas about bananas.

There’s no date yet planned forStardew Valley’s next free update. Withtwo new games on his plate, who knows when he’ll find time to unpeel another patch for the farming sim. At least we’ve got modders to fill in the time, or else ensure that bananas will thesame loving animation treatmentbestowed upon dozens of the game’s fruit, drinks and furniture items.
Not me. I, uh, caved. Bought it. Sorry.
