Summary

If you're a Stardew Valley fan, then you're no doubt anxiously waiting for ConcernedApe's next game - Haunted Chocolatier.
It's been a while since we've had a concrete update, and fans are wondering how far along it is.
Barone admitted in a recent interview that there's a lot that still needs to be done with the game.

creator Eric Barone (better known as ) has confirmed in a recentౠ interview that he "hopes" to release within th⛎e next five years or so.

For pretty much as long as Stardew Valle𝓡y has been a th🐭ing, it's remained as the quintessential cosy game, and one of the most popular indie releases of all time. Creator ConcernedApe has continued to 🅘drop 🍷update after update for Stardew over the years, eveℱn though he often claims that he'll be taking a break from it to work on other things.

As great as it is to see Stardew Valley conti🍎nue to get so much love, there is one problem with ConcernedApe's constant revisits - 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the lack of Ha𝐆unted Chocolatier updates. For those that don't remember, Haunted Chocolatier is the next game from Barone that was announced♐ all the way back in 2021 and still seems to be a long ways off releasing.

Haunted Chocolatier Should Be With Us By 2030 At The Latest

Here's Hoping ConcernedApe Sticks With It Instead Of Updating Stardew

Stardew Valley fans have been eager to see what Barone's next big game looks like, and it's something that he's talked about continuing w🔯ork on for some time in-between Stardew updates. Still, even with confirmation 𒀰that it's not gone anywhere and is still an evolving project, everyone's wondering what's going on with it and why we'🧸ve not heard much.

That exact question is something that . , Lee asked Baronඣe 𒅌about Haunted Chocolatier's status and why it's been so long since we've heard about it, as the original trailer was nearly four years ago.

Lee 🍸specifically says that Haunted Chocolatier seems to be pretty far along in development and asks Barone if he thinks it'll be released in the next five years. Barone replies by saying that he hopes so, and that's "the goal" for him, before admitting that there's "still a lot to be done" on the game.

Although your mind might inst✃antly jump to 2030 being Haunted Chocolatier's release date, it's worth noting that within five years could mean any time between now and then.

While that might seem a little wild considering how long Haunted C💟hocolatier has been in the works, considering how much anticipation there is behind it. Knowing how ConcernedApe works, that means he's not going to be releasing it or sharing many more details until he's sure it's ready.
