Hey everybody.

Today we are releasing our first "Intermission". Intermissions will take place roughly halfway between major updates and will generally not contain any game content. Allowing the team a little longer to cook up the beta of the next big update.

For the first Intermission in the 2024 roadmap, we have an animated short, a new login bonus, a new Twitch drop, some new vignettes have been added and we have added some old Twitch Drops into Klei Rewards.

Don't Starve Together Animated Short: Projector
Who is the man behind the mysterious machinations that have been keeping our Survivors so busy as of late? Wagstaff was not always the successful industrialist he is now, but even back then he knew one thing to be true: who you really are is not nearly as important as the version of yourself that you project out to the world. 

Login Bonus



The “Scalloped Fishing Rod” is now available for a limited-time login reward. Simply log into the game and collect yours!
 

New Twitch Drops



The Rosy Red Amulet joins the Rose collection. Check out the post for more details
 

New Vignettes



We have added some new vignettes from previous animated shorts to the game!

Klei Rewards



The Nouveau Amulet, The Camellia Flowerbed, The Nouveau Thulecite Suit, The Nouveau Headpiece, The Nouveau Club, The Nouveau Deconstructor, The Eclectic Glowcap, The Nouveau Pan Flute and The Nouveau Crown have been added to Klei Rewards.

And some points!

Look - They aren't even "hidden" this time! Enjoy!

Coming Soon!

We hope that you enjoy our brief intermission. We'll return in a couple of weeks with some news and teasers for our next update which will contain a couple of new character skill trees and... Ocean QOL. You know, things I'm sure nobody has any strong opinions about.

Glass Cannon Unplugged are pleased to announce that they will be responsible for bringing to the world the official board game adaptation of the award-winning video game Don’t Starve, as part of a long-term licensing partnership with Klei Entertainment.

Designed by Rafał Pieczyński—lead developer of the highly acclaimed and multi-award-winning Frostpunk:The Board Game, with narrative direction by Jakub Wiśniewski—known for his work on This War Of Mine and Frostpunk:The Board Game—and Natanel Vo-Apfel of Into The Outside: Prelude fame, Don't Starve: The Board Game transports 1-4 players into the unrelenting, randomly generated nightmare world of the Constant, a distant and ominous realm where magic and science intertwine in ways better left unspoken. Pitched against the elements and a grim pantheon of baddies, the players assume the roles of iconic characters from the video game, having to work closely together and use their wits to outsmart fate, strive for subsistence and simply stay alive.

With its mechanics highlighting player choice, dynamic combat, and open-world exploration in night and day conditions, Don't Starve: The Board Game is bound to transcend to unexplored levels of immersion, with its visual design fully embracing the unique, whimsical art style long cherished by fans of the series.

The game will be made available through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that is expected to fully utilize the creative potential of the source material, with a wealth of content offered via expansions, add-ons and future retail releases.

We've been working closely with the team over at Glass Cannon Unplugged to help them create a truly interesting and fresh tabletop game but also very much Don't Starve, and we think you're all going to love it. Subscribe to the Kickstarter preview page if you want to stay on top of the project.
