Stardew Valley creator Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone revealed earlier this year that he'd be taking a break from new title Haunted Chocolatier for one last minor update. At the time, Barone stated that this update was primarily to help mod support, but it seems as though he may have gotten a little bit carried away.

A bunch of new late-game content is being added too, which will "expand on each of the skill areas", as well as new items and crafting recipes. We can see small images of these items in the tweet itself, and fans already have their detective hats on trying to figure out what they might do.

A bunch of new Joja alternative options will be available during certain end-game quests for all of you that love that Joja life, over 100 new lines of dialogue are being added, and villagers are now being given special Winter outifts so they don't have to freeze in their regular attire. These Winter outfits are beautifully shown off by Sebastian and Jas in the tweet itself.

We're saving some of the best additions until last though, as it was also revealed that update 1.6 will be adding a mystery new farm type, as well as an official 8 player multiplayer mode on PC that will let you play with a bunch of friends. For those familiar with
