Stardew Valley Multiplayer Update Nearing According to Brief Post

Solo developer Eric Barone has posted a brief update on the Stardew Valley site to let players and fans know that the multiplayer update for the game is nearing completion. In addition, he has written that the beta test for the multiplayer mode will come in the near future.

Work on the new features is done, and we’ve sent all the new text off to be translated into the different languages. Meanwhile, we are working on bug fixes. Once we’ve received the translated text and integrated it back into the game, we’ll begin a serious QA phase involving thorough testing of all new features in both multiplayer and single player contexts. When that is finished, the update should be ready for a public beta.  I am still shooting for a spring release for the beta.
