Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone, has given a new interview - and finally revealed a little more information about his upcoming title, Haunted Chocolatier.

The short version

  • In a wide-ranging interview with GQ , which tackles topics ranging from creative burnout to the importance of 'cosy gaming', Barone also slips in some new information about what we can expect from his highly-anticipated Stardew Valley follow-up.
  • If you had fun venturing in there at night to fight slimes and horde minerals, you're going to like Haunted Chocolatier, it seems.
  • "[The new game] is for the people in Stardew Valley that go into the mines.

What happened

That's what I do, honestly," said Barone. Elsewhere, Barone noted that Haunted Chocolatier is a more "metaphysical" experience than Stardew Valley - which makes sense, I suppose, given its connection to the world of ghosts and spirits - and that "no one's playing the game until I'm ready to show it".

Why it matters

Hence, there's still no word on a solid release date.
