"Stardew Valley's creator, ConcernedApe, announces another update to the popular life simulation game, following a recent sneak peek of the Haunted Chocolatier"
Stardew Valley and Haunted Chocolatier: A Look Ahead
Stardew Valley, the beloved indie game created by Eric Barone, has brought together a vibrant community of players since its release. Recently, Barone made a surprise announcement at a Stardew Valley: Symphony of Seasons concert, confirming that farming will be included in his upcoming game, Haunted Chocolatier.
Haunted Chocolatier, a life sim game also by Barone, was previously announced years ago. The world of Haunted Chocolatier is expected to be larger than that of Stardew Valley, promising an even more immersive experience for players. However, details about the game's release date are yet to be revealed.
The announcement of Haunted Chocolatier's expansion was not made at the concert, but rather the secret revelation of another Stardew Valley update. ConcernedApe, the creator of Stardew Valley, has confirmed that there will be a Stardew Valley 1.7 update. The exact details of this update are currently unknown, and no release date or estimate has been provided.
Initially, ConcernedApe expressed uncertainty about making another big update after the 1.6 content drop. But the allure of more Stardew Valley content drew him back to work on the next update. Despite his deep immersion in the current Stardew Valley farming sim, with over 1,000 hours spent, ConcernedApe has stated that he could see himself making Stardew Valley updates into his 90s.
The release date for Stardew Valley Update 1.7 is not set, and there is no estimate. Barone has decided not to provide a release date and instead will wait until everything is fully completed. This means that the update will not arrive in 2025 and could even come after Haunted Chocolatier, possibly in 2027 or later.
The announcement of the Stardew Valley 1.7 update was met with rapturous applause at the concert. Despite the excitement, fans will have to wait patiently for more information. In the meantime, they can look forward to the continued growth and development of both Stardew Valley and Haunted Chocolatier.
