Now that update 1.6 is finally out for all players and1.6.9has released on PC,Stardew Valleycreator Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone reveals that there’ll be news onHaunted Chocolatierat some point - but for now, he’s focusing on his farming sim.
Speaking in a recentpostonline, the beloved solo developer responds to a player asking for “Chocolatier updates” following the arrival of patch 1.6.9 on PC. “There will be in time,” he writes, “but right now I’m focused on these Stardew updates.” As a longtime fan myself, it’s not all that surprising to read - after all, ConcernedApe previously admitted that he still thinks he could"keep working on the game forever"in regard to Stardew Valley.
He did, however, also tell a fan in March that he’s “eager” toget back to working on Haunted Chocolatierafter finishing updating his farming sim - but there’s really no telling when that will be. Between 1.6 only just coming to non-PC platforms and ConcernedApe describing how he has"not touched Haunted Chocolatier in a long time"while working to get the big update out onto consoles and mobile devices, it’s difficult to try and guess.

She has written for various publications since her postgraduate studies, including Dexerto, Fanbyte, GameSpot, IGN, PCGamesN, and more. When she’s not frantically trying to form words into coherent sentences, she’s probably daydreaming about becoming a fairy druid and befriending every animal or she’s spending a thousand (more) hours traversing the Underdark in Baldur’s Gate 3. If you spot her away from her PC, you’ll always find Anna with a fantasy book, a handheld video game console of some sort, and a Tamagotchi or two on hand.
