Stardew Valley is currently available on consoles as a digital download, but publisher 505 Games will be bringing the Harvest Moon inspired farming simulator to store shelves in early 2017. Below, you can check out a brand-new trailer for the impending physical release, as well as read a synopsis from the developer that highlights the many, many possible directions your farming life can take.
In Stardew Valley, you've inherited your grandfather's old farm plot in Stardew Valley. Armed with hand-me-down tools and a few coins, you set out to begin your new life. Can you learn to live off the land and turn these overgrown fields into a thriving home? It won't be easy. Ever since Joja Corporation came to town, the old ways of life have all but disappeared. The community center, once the town's most vibrant hub of activity, now lies in shambles. But the valley seems full of opportunity. With a little dedication, you might just be the one to restore Stardew Valley to greatness!
