Stardew Valley 1.7 Confirmed — Barone Reassures Haunted Chocolatier Won’t Be Delayed

Eric Barone (ConcernedApe) announced a new Stardew Valley update — version 1.7 — during the Symphony of Seasons concert in Seattle and later confirmed the news on X. No release date or content details have been shared yet, but Barone reassured fans that “this will not hinder Haunted Chocolatier development.”

What we know

• 1.7 was revealed live at the Symphony of Seasons concert and confirmed on Barone’s X account.
• No release window or detailed content list has been provided.
• Barone stated that work on 1.7 “will not hinder Haunted Chocolatier” — his next standalone title.
• Given the numbered update, 1.7 is expected to be more than a small patch, possibly similar in scope to the previous 1.6 update which added Meadowlands Farm, a new festival, crops, and NPC interactions.

Community reaction

Fans are excited for more Stardew content but some have raised concerns about whether regular updates will affect development of Haunted Chocolatier (revealed in 2021). Barone’s comment aims to reassure players that both projects can proceed concurrently.
