ConcernedApe Is Taking A Break From Haunted Chocolatier For A Stardew Valley Update
ConcernedApe is taking a brief break from Haunted Chocolatier's development in order to make a new update for Stardew Valley, one that will mostly focus on changes for modders.
Following its initial announcement trailer back in 2021, we haven't seen too much of Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone's next game, Haunted Chocolatier. We've been given some smaller updates here and there on how the game's development is coming along, but considering Barone confirmed that it was going to take "a while" back when it was announced, that's no surprise. The wait for it might be getting just a little bit longer, however.

Over on Twitter, ConcernedApe revealed that he's going to be taking a break from making Haunted Chocolatier in order to spend some time on Stardew Valley and update it to version 1.6. This update will mostly be focused on changes for modders, but it will also contain some new content, ConcernedApe confirmed.
ConcernedApe said, "There is going to be a Stardew 1.6 update. It's mostly changes for modders (which will make it easier & more powerful to mod). But there is also new game content, albeit much less than 1.5. I'm taking a break from Haunted Chocolatier to work on this at the moment. Then back to HC."
It's not clear from the tweet what changes are going to be made to Stardew Valley in order to make it easier to mod, but considering how massive the scene is for it, it's an exciting change. We also don't have a timeframe for the update right now, so it's not clear when we can expect it to launch, but since it's just Barone working on the game, it could be some time yet. Update 1.5 only just hit the mobile version
