Stardew Valley's multiplayer beta has slipped into next year, publisher Chucklefish has announced in a new blog post.
When Chucklefish offered first details on the hugely popular village life sim's long-awaited multiplayer mode back in August, it said that it hoped to begin beta testing the feature on PC at the end of the year. This, however, just wasn't to be, and the multiplayer beta has now been pushed back to Q1 2018 "in order to make room for polish and QA".
It's slightly disappointing news, for sure, but not entirely unexpected given how much of a massive undertaking Stardew Valley's multiplayer overhaul appears to be.
