Summary
Stardew Valleyis a titan of the video game industry butcreator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone wants to see it cross over with another juggernaut to create an experience that some may find jarring. Crossovers have risen in prominence in recent years as publishers and developers chase the popularity of intellectual properties to generate long-term interest. Even games that don’t need the help of guest characters likeCall of Dutyare getting in on crossovers, hosting several franchises likeThe Boys,Attack on Titan, andTomb Raider.
Yet the undisputed champion of video crossovers isFortniteand perPanedwards_YTon X (formerly Twitter),Barone is very interested in having some ofStardew Valley’s characters appear in the battle royale shooter.
The developer even stated thathe’s “been trying to” successfully set up aFortnitecollaboration, quipping that he really wants to play as Pam. Barone went one step further by stating that it doesn’t have to be Pam: He believes Abigail and Sebastian would be a good fight while also pitching consumable items like the Stardrop or Joja Cola and weapons like the Galaxy Sword.
10 Things That Make No Sense In Stardew Valley
The world of Stardew Valley includes a lot of otherworldly elements, but certain aspects of the game still don’t make sense even in a fantasy setting.
Stardew Valley Has Crossed Over With Other Properties
They’re More References Than Anything Else
WhileStardew Valleymay not have played host to massive crossover events like the ones usually associated withFortnite, the game has been referenced in plenty of other franchises.In the popular roguelikeEnter the Gungeon,players can unlock a weapon known as The Starpew, a gun based onStardew’s watering canthat functions in much the same way. ConcernedApe has included in several nods to other successful games: Sebastian’s room has a poster that depicts the main character of the originalHarvest Moonwhile Abigail hasposters that homageChrono TriggerandEcco The Dolphin.
The biggestStardew Valleycrossover is undoubtedly found in fellow indie hitTerrariawhere several items that have seemingly been plucked directly from Pelican Town can be found. In the Labor of Love Update, developer Re-Logic added Junimos, Stardrops, Blue Chicken Eggs, and Joja Cola. The items aren’t especially fantastic but they did set the stage for an interestingTerraria-inspired item making its way intoStardew Valley.
Stardew Valley’s 1.6 Update added the Meowmere Sword, a weapon players obtain by opening a portal between dimensionsandretrieving it fromTerraria. Not only is it a fun crossover that even depicts the iconic tree used inTerraria’s marketing, but it also grants the Farmer an especially powerful weapon. Unlocking the Meowmere can be confusing though, but fortunately for players who have yet to discover it,Screen Rant has a helpful guide here.
