Yes, Stardew Valley is getting another patch in the future. No, it's not coming anytime soon, and creator Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone doesn't "want too much hype at this point" for update 1.7 after announcing it last month.
Barone responded to fans on X about the 1.7 update for Stardew Valley after they asked for a hint about what might be included with the patch.

The action-RPG was originally unveiled in late 2021 and will focus on a combo of mystery mixed with whimsy.

As for a Stardew Valley 2, Barone has acknowledged that he could make that at some point. But in the meantime, he likes doing updates for the original game. "It's so much easier to just add more stuff to Stardew Valley than to make a whole new game from scratch," Barone said on a podcast in May.
