Despite it being four years since Stardew Valley first released to massive critical acclaim and positive fan reception, the game continues to get its recognition as the definitive farming game. Yesterday, it was announced that Stardew Valley would be getting a physical edition through Fangamer for PC and Nintendo Switch. The die-hard fans not content with just getting a physical copy do have a much more adorable option.
Alongside the physical release of Stardew Valley will be a Collector’s Edition. For double the price of the standard edition, fans of developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone’s Harvest Moon love letter can walk away with one of the cutest collector’s editions ever.
Included in the $64 PC version or the $69 Switch version are a lot of goodies. The most noticeable trinket is the six-piece wooden standee that features the animals of Stardew. Accompanying that is another wooden accessory with a lapel pin which features a Junimo among produce. From that the pack also includes a 14-page “Jumino” comic by Chihiro Sakaida and a polyester-nylon cleaning cloth. The final item that adds it all together is a deed to the very farm players inherit from “Grandpa.” The deed even features a spot for players to write in their farm name and sign it.
It’s an incredibly cute bundle that oozes the charm that Stardew Valley is known and loved for. Eric Barone had previously teased a physical release of Stardew for the Switch back in April. Stardew Valley has a physical Switch release in Japan and with Western fans clamoring, the developer teased the idea knowing what Fangamer was preparing.
Fangamer has put down a November 6 date for both standard and collector’s edition so fans wanting a piece of Stardew history best act quick. Considering Stardew Valley still harbors secrets, maybe that deed from Mayor Lewis might start a new treasure hunt.
Stardew Valley is out now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
