Haunted Chocolatier Release Date, Trailers, Gameplay, And Everything Else We Know

"Haunted Chocolatier is the next game from ConcernedApe, the developer behind the massive indie farming sim, Stardew Valley. This has made Haunted Chocolatier highly anticipated, although little information about the game has been shared, beyond making it clear that it's a game where you move to a new town and take over a chocolate shop. ConcernedApe has said that it will share gameplay elements with Stardew Valley, but will be more of an action-RPG compared to Stardew Valley."

"Haunted Chocolatier does not have a release date nor window at this time, and ConcernedApe has said that he doesn't intend on giving one until he's confident it's going to release. Haunted Chocolatier was originally announced via a trailer back in October 2021, roughly four years ago. In a blog post on September 12 discussing the announcement of Stardew Valley 1.7, ConcernedApe said his attention was still primarily on Haunted Chocolatier, even teasing that Haunted Chocolatier could arrive prior to Stardew Valley 1.7,"

"The trailer briefly shows a snowy mountain, with a bakery and other buildings, including your chocolate shop. From the chocolate shop, the player jumps into a portal, which takes them to a combat dungeon, which shows more in-depth combat mechanics. That portal is also where you gather chocolate ingredients, which can be used back at the chocolate shop to make products to sell in the store."

Haunted Chocolatier is an upcoming game from ConcernedApe that blends action-RPG combat with shopkeeping and customization centered on a chocolate shop. The game features dungeon portals accessed from the shop where players gather chocolate ingredients and engage in combat. Shop mechanics include shelves for products, decorations, and ghost NPCs that help run the store. The game will share gameplay elements with Stardew Valley but emphasizes action-RPG systems. No release date or window has been announced; ConcernedApe has stated he will not give a date until confident of release. The title was first revealed in October 2021.
