Stardew Valley’s Biggest Competition Is About to Get Even Better

Among the numerous farming simulation games available, not many can match up to the appeal of Stardew Valley, which remains a crowd favorite even today, consistently setting new records on Steam and beyond. However, a fresh farming sim has recently caught the attention of many in Early Access, and it’s set to improve further with its third significant update. The game under discussion is none other than Fields of Mistria, a brilliant creation by NPC Studio that has already earned an Overwhelmingly Positive rating on Steam before its official release.

In the summer of 2024, I stumbled upon Fields of Mistria, a game that swept me off my feet with its enchanting blend of Sailor Moon and Stardew Valley vibes. The game’s irresistible strawberry cows and magical girl aesthetic were just the beginning; it boasts an impressive roster of 12 potential partners, each as well-developed as the next. Although I couldn’t tie the knot with any of them just yet, the romance aspect of Fields of Mistria was a tantalizing promise for the future.

But now, my farming sim dreams are about to come true! The game’s third major update is slated for release on July 21st, and it promises to elevate the romance element to new heights for those who love to play dating sims within their farming sims. I can hardly contain my excitement!

The long-awaited moment is nearly here! On July 21st, we will be unveiling the latest major update for Fields of Mistria. Here’s a visual guide to help you figure out when it goes live in your area:
