Despite having been initially released back in 2013, Don't Starve is still regularly updated by its developer, Klei Entertainment and that's not stopping anytime soon. Following continued tweaks to the single player and multiplayer Don't Starve experiences, Klei has now announced a number of new features for both versions of the game, including a brand new DLC pack, new cosmetic micro-transactions and a new piece of single player DLC called Hamlet.
Hamlet will introduce a new type of pig village that is much more sophisticated than the ones you're used to coming across. Built as an entirely new biome, the "Hamlet" features pig guards, pig gentlemen, pig caves and ruins and a pig shop that lets you buy all manner of exciting things. Feature details remain a little slim for now, but it's set for release as a new, paid for DLC pack sometime in Q1 or Q2 2018.
Don't Starve Together is getting an aforementioned micro-transaction shop, but only for cosmetic items. Entire outfits will cost $3 each or $13 for a full collection. All proceeds will go towards making new Don't Starve content.
Joining that store in DST is a new "Forge" mode, which will give players timed challenges with new enemies, new attack patterns and new weapons to combat them with.
Shipwrecked is also getting a big update in the near future. Available to try out in the beta branch right now are a number of new items, commodities, and buildings, letting you build a base on the sea, block waves with walls and more. Thanks to PCGamer for the full, exhaustive list.
