Stardew Valley Creator Teases Exciting Switch 2 Announcement Coming Soon After Long Wait
Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone, the creator of Stardew Valley, recently hinted at an impending announcement regarding the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 edition. This news comes after a long wait since its initial announcement during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct.
Stardew Valley for Nintendo Switch 2: A Long-Awaited Update
The Switch 2 version of Stardew Valley was expected to launch in fall 2025. First released in 2016, the game quickly became a sensation, making its way onto various platforms, including PC, Linux, and PlayStation Vita.
The game’s success made a Switch 2 version feel like a natural progression. However, the anticipated release window has since passed without updates. The community eagerly awaits further details.
Recent Developments from ConcernedApe
In response to a fan’s inquiry about the Switch 2 edition, Barone shared on Twitter that he will have news soon. “I’ll announce something very soon, sorry about the long wait,” he stated, acknowledging the delay.
Despite this excitement, Barone has a history of announcing projects without specific release dates. He emphasizes that the upcoming 1.7 update for Stardew Valley also does not have a firm release timeframe yet.
Future Projects: Haunted Chocolatier
In addition to working on Stardew Valley, Barone is developing a new game titled Haunted Chocolatier. While the development process appears to be going well, fans should not expect a release date anytime soon. Barone prefers to keep release windows fluid and open-ended.
Conclusion
Fans of Stardew Valley and the gaming community at large are hopeful that updates on the Nintendo Switch 2 edition will arrive soon. As development progresses on both Stardew Valley and Haunted Chocolatier, players remain eager for what ConcernedApe has in store.
