Time will tell if aStardew Valley 2ever materializes, but ConcernedApe fans have a different project to look forward to in the meantime. ConcernedApe’sHaunted Chocolatieris in active developmentand is expected to release at some point within the next five years. For the uninitiated,Haunted Chocolatierhas players run a chocolate store and interact with a variety of humans and ghosts. Based on what’s been shown so far,Haunted Chocolatierwill have more action thanStardew Valley, but it will still maintain the latter game’s cozy vibes and general aesthetic.
