Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone is currently working on two new projects, and one of them is set in the franchise's beloved pixelated universe. But it won't be a farming simulator (exciting news!). The other is still quite a mystery.

"Yes, I'm actually working on a couple of new projects. One takes place in the world of Stardew Valley, but is not a farming game. The other, I'm not 100% sure about the world yet, but it will tie into Stardew Valley in some way," Barone said on Twitter.

According to PCGamer, Barone took a hiatus from the project in 2018.

"I've been deliberately secretive about it because I want to be able to work on it without any pressure for the time being. I also want to make sure the concept is fully realized before revealing anything, because once it's out there, I'm going to have to fully commit to it. I'm a pretty cautious person when it comes to this sort of thing."

For reference, it took Barone multiple years of laser-focused development before he shipped Stardew Valley in 2016. Barone worked day and night on the project and obsessively crunched to make sure it fit his vision 100%. And his efforts paid off big time. Stardew Valley has now sold over 10 million copies worldwide, eclipsing some major AAA games like Final Fantasy XV.
