ConcernedApe's farming and lifestyle sim Stardew Valley has experienced a tremendous amount of success - shifting over 15 million copies to date, but it's time to move on. His next game, as you might have already seen, has now been officially revealed. It's called Haunted Chocolatier and at this stage seems to be a little bit of everything.
While platforms beyond the PC haven't been locked in just yet, after the success of Stardew on Switch, a Nintendo release seems pretty likely. ConcernedApe has also said he has "every intention" of bringing it to "other major platforms", so we guess that means a Nintendo platform in the future...
With all of this in mind, we've now rounded up some additional screens of this newly announced game. Enjoy!
And if you missed it the first time around, here's the first official look in video form:

I know it's not officially a Stardew Valley sequel, but I'm definitely going to treat it that way! Can't wait 😁
Really like the look of this, cooking was my favourite part of Harvest Moon Tale of Two Towns and the Rune Factory games.
Can't wait physical to collect for backlog play.
So what type of game is it? An RPG or a sim game like Stardew?
i honestly cannot wait for this game, i adored stardew and having another town to explore makes this worth it alone
Bring it on, ConcernedApe! This looks great!
I’m still playing Stardew 600+ hours in so let’s assume I’ll love this
The pixel art is really beautiful here
@GannonBanned For real I am having issues just trying to keep up with the events of the calendar how are you doing 600 hours????
think im more excited that there isactual diversity in characters this time
@SwitchForce well it’s stretched over 4 farms and 4 years haha - lots of variety in planning!
Getting some Secret of Mana and Secret of Evermore vibes from the combat there. Hope it has more action RPG elements in addition to the lovely sim!
This looks so very good, Stardew Valley is one of my favorite games, I know I will get hooked onto this one too, really hope Concerned Ape can deliver a second time.
It already looks amazing!!! Can't wait to see how this continues to develop. I have a hunch that it's going to be SO FUN!!!!!
Can't wait to play this on Switch 2 in 2025. In all honesty, this looks like an impressive follow up to Stardew Valley and should be very fun.
Not into this. I just find it strange. Is it interesting? Yeah, but I just don't think it's the game for me. I'll try it of course though.
Looks really interesting. Also considering the devs history
I'm actually hyped for Haunted Chocolatier. Stardew Valley was a wonderful surprise to me. That's the game I introduced my 51 year old girlfriend into gaming. She loves it and plays it daily.
That's why I really wish Haunted Chocolatier will have that co-op multiplayer on the Switch.
Looks interesting, but I have a feeling that it won't be available until around 2024.
Excited for this. Loved Stardew Valley but having put far too many hours into Harvest Moon over the years it didn’t feel like a new experience. This seems to offer a new take.
Looks a lot like Snowdin, not gonna lie.
Can't wait to stuff my face with chocolate ghouls and hit on someone in this game.
Bizarre...I was just thinking this morning how I love and miss Stardew but probably am not willing to start a 3rd farm, so I was wondering if CA is working on something new. Then I saw this! Can't wait!!
Looks great! Hopefully there's a physical.
