Though it will be much smaller than 2020's expansion-sized 1.5.

Eric "ConcernedApe" Barone, the creator of megahit farm builder/RPG Stardew Valley, announced via Haunted Chocolatier to deliver it.

For added context, the 1.1-5 updates have all featured new content for Stardew Valley, with 1.5 being practically a full-on expansion, including quality of life changes, a new farm, and a huge additional endgame area. Stardew Valley's last update, period, was 1.5.6 at the end of 2021, with a few supplemental hotfixes at the beginning of 2022⁠—that update was limited exclusively to bug fixes, however.

Barone's planned changes for modders are also interesting, especially since Stardew already has a mes your grandpa's deathbed.

I wouldn't read too much into the developer's break from working on everything we know about Haunted Chocolatier.
