We've also announced our new game - Away Team!

Away Team is a new Oxygen Not Included adventure. Take control of a duplicant and harness a new world where every tile is simulated.

Mistakenly shipped off on a research rocket, you find yourself in a strange new world where you must take control of the simulation to survive and thrive.

The world reacts to your every action. Harness chemical reactions, fine-grained temperature simulation and convection, liquids that evaporate, and more.

You will need to design and construct solutions to process, refine and build your way out of this ordeal in order to survive and complete your mission imperatives.

Oh, and maybe a little oxygen is included.

Check it out on Steam and Wishlist now!

That's all for now!
Klei Fest is now in full swing, but we aren't quite finished with what we wanted to get in for this update, so you can look forward to a little bit more hitting beta some time soon. After that, we're back at it for an update we expect in mid-September, and of course, with an intermission about 6 weeks from now.

We'll see you soon!

The "Hostile Takeover" update and Klei Fest are coming this Thursday, June 12th!

Hey everybody.

It's intermission time again. As we prepare for our next update, we'd like to take a moment to fill you in on a tasty bit of lore and also give you some cool stuff while you wait. 

As we approach the conclusion of the lunar arc, some plans begin to take on a life of their own. 



The most innocent discoveries often spark the greatest advancements—but in the hands of the ruthlessly ambitious, they can unleash horrors beyond imagination. Steel yourself for the final phase of the lunar arc.

Now on Klei Rewards
More skins previously available as limited-time Twitch drops have been added to Klei Rewards. The "Nouveau Frigid Firepit", "Nouveau Tent", "Rosy Red Cane", "Rosy Red Amulet", "Rosy Eyebrella", "Rose Bushel", "Rosebloom Bearger Vest", "Polar Bloom Bin" and "Rose Thorn Trap" can all now be gained for free through Klei Points. 



Login Bonus!
Klei Publishing just launched Lab Rat. Lab Rat is a hand-crafted narrative puzzler masquerading as a machine-generated video game. This satirical adventure stars a metrics-obsessed AI who will monitor, profile, and guide you as you solve over a hundred unique spatial problems.



To celebrate, we have added the "Spectraflux Pack" backpack skin in Don't Starve Together. This shockingly attractive Backpack skin is only available as a login reward for a limited time. Simply log into Don't Starve Together and get yours before it's gone.

For more details about Lab Rat, you can check it out on Steam, Xbox, or Epic. 

Coming Soon
We don't have an exact date for the next update just yet, but we're approximately halfway there, with the beta dropping a couple of weeks before that.

We know that some of you are feeling frustrated with the lack of information provided by a long-term roadmap. We understand and apologize for that, but we don't want to spoil upcoming plans before certain things happen in the game, and before we're far enough along with our post-arc development to communicate that to you.

But rest assured that these plans are entirely based on your love of Don't Starve, the lore, and our desire to do the best that we can to return that passion and support. The game has a great future ahead of it, and we can't wait to share those details with you the moment that we can.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed crash due to network sync issues when connecting to some servers.
  
• Fixed a crash when interacting with a c_spawn("deck_of_cards").
  
• Fixed sound loops sometimes not stopping when closing JIMBO’s screen.
  
• Fixed JIMBO not scoring high straights properly.
  
• Fixed JIMBO scoring straights when they shouldn’t be.
  
• Fixed autumn combat music being too soft.

A short while back, Don't Starve became Friends with Jimbo. Now it’s time for us to ante up - so we've included a couple of small surprises in Don't Starve Together for you to enjoy. 



For the next week, players will be able to claim the Fools Crown skin for the Bee Queen crown for free by logging in. After that time, you will be able to weave the item with spools or find it in a random drop.



And if you play your cards right, you might even find JIMBO waiting for you lurking around somewhere in the Constant. Well, I guess that depends on what you consider luck.  



On the subject of Klei Rewards: if you missed some recent login goodies, The Rift of the NecroDancer Harmonic Riftwear and Mind Over Magic Thorny Twizzle skins are now up for grabs over on Klei Rewards.

And since it's been a little bit, have some Klei Points. On the house.
