Few indie games have ever taken off quite like Stardew Valley. Nearly ten years since its release, it’s still one of the best and most popular farming sims around. In that time, collaborations between games have gotten more common, but Stardew Valley has rarely taken part. Now, as it’s only done a few times in its history, the farming sim is joining forces with another game, and the title that’s getting the honor is a surprising one.
In some ways, it makes sense that Stardew Valley is teaming up with Infinity Nikki. Live-service games are usually the most likely to go after collaborations, since they need a steady stream of new experiences to keep players hooked. But most of those games lean more toward action than the laidback Stardew Valley, and mixing the chill game with something like Fortnite wouldn’t make a lot of sense. But Infinity Nikki, with its focus on customization and coziness, could be the perfect ongoing game to share space with Stardew Valley.
