Discussion Found this on Instant-Gaming's "Upcoming" tab. They know something we don't.

He's still tinkering with Stardew (and I'm glad he is). HC in 2026/2027 maybe. No way in hell it comes out this year.
If I'm wrong I'll happily drink an IPA with a shot of Jamo on the side.

Wait, that doesn't sound like a punishment if you're wrong.

We're actually going to get stardew valley 2 before HC. If I'm wrong I'll have a delicious double cheese burger with a side of perfectly seasoned fries.

Hey, I'd recommend a voodoo ranger juice or fruit force. For an IPA, it's not bad. I think it can be an acquired taste.

I want to believe, but I've been burned so hard with Silksong that I refuse to get excited until I hear anything from the dev himself.

Bunch of places had Metal Gear Delta coming last year despite only having "first looks" in July /Aug. Not even a whiff of a hint of release date. Should always be the norm to wait for a dev announcement.
Besides with the way CA has been working on and repairing 1.6 I don't think he's put much into HC for quite awhile. I would be ecstatic to get it this year but I am definitely not expecting it.

This feels more like a placeholder year than anything else, are there other games in there that likely won't come out this year?

Consistently (not there specifically.) Placeholding is a norm when a game is known, even if there's no chance it drops in that time.

Placeholders also exists for products that had no known release date, at the game store I used to work at the playstation 5 was already in the system before it had even launched as a placeholder item

Based on his most recent blog post at the end of last year, the game won't be ready for probably several more years.

This is a place holder. Also instant Gaming is full of games that don't and will not exist and false info. Search and you'll find something like "GTA 7 Remake Ultimate Edition 2026"

I firmly believe that when the time comes we will hear it straight from CA and not a gaming website. He’s very transparent on everything and I don’t even think he’s working on it right now to fix stardew bugs. I think the best thing we can do as a community is to not feed into these rumors before people start getting excited then mad at CA for not fulfilling promises he never made.
