Barone originally announced the new project in October 2021, complete with an \u201cearly gameplay\u201d trailer. Though specifics about Haunted Chocolatier remain under wraps, the developer confirmed his next title will indeed revolve around \u201cmagical haunted ghost chocolate.\u201d In particular, players can expect to assume the role of a chocolate maker who manages a candy shop. Said shop just so happens to be housed in a haunted castle. While the reveal trailer featured footage suggesting the project\u2019s pretty far along in development, fans shouldn\u2019t hold their breath. Don\u2019t expect to play the Haunted Chocolatier game anytime soon Eric Barone recently spoke to Screen Rant about his collaboration with Canadian pop band Alvvays. Naturally, Haunted Chocolatier garnered mention during the interview, resulting in the developer offering a minor production update. When asked how the new project\u2019s progressing, Barone it\u2019s an \u201cambitious\u201d endeavor that still requires a lot of work. As such, it won\u2019t hit digital storefronts anytime in the near future. Barone told the publication: \u201cIt\u2019s going well, but it\u2019s a big game. I have a big, ambitious vision for it. It\u2019s a little bit daunting, the amount of work that it\u2019s going to be. But Stardew Valley took me four and a half years; I\u2019ve been working on Haunted Chocolatier for about a year and a half or maybe two years now. I announced it a little bit over a year ago, but it\u2019s still gonna be a while. But I think it\u2019s going good. So far. There\u2019s a lot of good things so far.\u201d The developer stopped short of sharing a due date for the Haunted Chocolatier game. However, Stardew Valley\u2018s lengthy development cycle indicates the new title could remain in production for at least another two years or so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Haunted Chocolatier is \u201cstill gonna be a while\u201d says Stardew Valley creator ConcernedApeStardew Valley creator Eric \u201cConcernedApe\u201d Barone has confirmed his next game \u2013 Haunted Chocolatier \u2013 will not release anytime soon.
