WHO WORKS ON HAUNTED CHOCOLATIER?

Undoubtedly, it’s extremely important to know about the developers of the project. These people create the game, and only they can decide what to add to it. Unfortunately, there is no official information on who is working on the new Haunted Chocolatier. But there is a high chance that the developers will remain the same: Chucklefish, Fangamer, ConcernedApe, and 505 Games. Also, some people report that they have seen developers' vacancies for Haunted Chocolatier on LinkedIn. Therefore, it is evident that the developers also include creative individuals to work on the project together.

WHAT IS HAUNTED CHOCOLATIER?

Once you know about the developers, it's time to find out more about the game itself. And the most frequently asked question is - will Haunted Chocolatier include Stardew Valley references? Fortunately, there is an official answer to this question. Replying to Claudiu101 on Twitter, ConcernedApe answered that the game would have references to Stardew Valley.

However, they still have not decided how strong the connection will be. Also, they said that the game will have its own identity. So, people waiting for the continuation of Stardew Valley will not find it in this game.

Haunted Chocolatier will be a shop simulator. It will keep the design and UI of Stardew Valley, but in this video game, you are supposed to make chocolate and sell it in your branded store. Unfortunately, there is no explanation of how it will work and be realised.

But according to various leaks, Haunted Chocolatier will have plenty of exciting NPCs and mechanics. Moreover, some of them are already revealed, like the central NPC. You will discover more about it at the end of the guide.

IS HAUNTED CHOCOLATIER CO-OP?

An important question that is frequently asked nowadays is whether the game will be co-op or solo. After the release of Stardew Valley multiplayer, many people want to see the new ConcernedApe game with multiplayer mode. Unfortunately, their expectations will not come true. As of now, Haunted Chocolatier will be a solo game.

Still, there's no reason to worry - the fact is that, as with Stardew Valley, the developer might release a multiplayer mode in a separate big update after the release of the game. There is a high chance that mod developers will add the multiplayer game mod faster than the official developer.

MODS IN HAUNTED CHOCOLATIER

HAUNTED CHOCOLATIER RELEASE DATE

Finally, it is time to talk about one of the most important questions about Haunted Chocolatier - the release date of this video game. The game was announced more than a year ago, in October 2021. The developer dedicated a separate post in which they announced Haunted Chocolatier. Some keen eyes noticed that in this post, the developer said that he spent 10 years developing Stardew Valley.

But this time, the situation is different. The fact is that ConcernedApe is a bit of a bigger company nowadays as they have included a few more people in the development process. Also, they can reuse elements of the Stardew Valley code to speed up the development of new video games.

Unfortunately, there is still no official date for the release of Haunted Chocolatier. But according to various experts, the game is likely to be released in late 2023 or even during 2024. Moreover, the game can be released spontaneously. Of course, nobody knows for sure how it will go, so it's best to follow the official social media channels of the developers and wait for any official comments.
