Barone

Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone has voiced a character or two in Hollow Knight Silksong.

Barone’s name was spotted in Silksong’s credits, which you can access from the Extras part of the main menu. And when The Verge asked Stardew Valley studio ConcernedApe if this was the same Eric Barone who worked there, the company’s head of biz dev, Cole Medeiros, confirmed it.

But! Neither Mereidos nor Barone will confirm who Barone voices in Silksong. Medeiros said Barone would rather not say so as not to spoil anything. Barone could potentially be any of the weird and wonderful characters you bump into along the way.

“I’m committed to not working on Stardew Valley until I’m done with Haunted Chocolatier,” Eric ‘ConcernedApe’ Barone told us earlier this year. And that commitment lasted all of four months, I guess.

At one of the recent Stardew Valley Symphony of Seasons live concerts, Barone addressed the audience to say that after the 1.6 update he wasn’t sure if he’d ever do another, but more recently he’d changed his mind. “I wanted to share something with you tonight, it’s kind of a secret,” he continued. “There’s going to be another update.”

It was not a secret for long, and Barone confirmed on Twitter that 1.7 is definitely coming. “Okay, I revealed this at the concert last night and now the cat’s out of the bag,” he wrote, “so I will confirm for everyone: There will be a Stardew Valley 1.7 update. No release date, no estimate. But it’s happening”.

Of course Haunted Chocolatier is still happening too, though. In the replies, Barone commented, “My plan is that this will not hinder Haunted Chocolatier development”.

We don’t know a huge amount about Barone’s next game, but we do know that Haunted Chocolatier will include the obvious chocolate-making and shop-simming, as well as archery, boss fights, books, and a larger world than Stardew Valley. And of course, there will be fishing. If Stardew Valley is anything to go by, it’ll probably be well-supported after release as well.
