Stardew Valley developer Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone and Zach “UnsurpassableZ” Hartman have announced the first official Stardew Valley Cup, a tournament of sorts where teams attempt to complete various challenges to earn the most points. This isn’t just for fun, however, as it was also revealed that the Stardew Valley Cup will include a prize pool of over $40,000. The last major update for Stardew Valley was the release of 1.5 for PC late last year and 1.5 on console earlier this year with the mobile version of 1.5 still to come, so the announcement of the Stardew Valley Cup is essentially the biggest Stardew Valley news since the reveal of the board game.
In collaboration with @UnsurpassableZ, I’m pleased to announce the 1st official Stardew Valley Cup! It’s a competition of skill, knowledge, and teamwork, with a prize pool of over $40k. See some of Stardew’s most dedicated players in their element! Main event is Sept. 4th 9am PST pic.twitter.com/qtDW5e5LvD
