Developer Klei Entertainment has announced a follow-up to Don’t Starve that adds a new sense of depth to the popular survival game. And that’s in a literal sense: Don’t Starve Elsewhere translates the game’s resource gathering and sanity management to a world with three-dimensional terrain at different elevations, a first for the traditionally flat series.
Don’t Starve Elsewhere doesn’t quite seem like the Super Mario 64 to Don’t Starve‘s Super Mario Bros. but based on the trailer, having actual mountains, cliffs and plateaus does offer plenty of new opportunities to have your world rocked by an unfriendly goat. The game also incorporates new biomes, what looks like plenty of new animals, enemies and bosses and several features that were first introduced as DLC for the first Don’t Starve.
Klei released the original Tim Burton-inspired Don’t Starve all the way back in 2013, and has been remarkably consistent in supporting it with paid DLC introducing new characters, mechanics and biomes over the last 13 years. Additions like multiplayer support, from standalone expansion Don’t Starve Together, and dynamic weather patterns, introduced in Don’t Starve: Shipwrecked, appear to be built into the new game from the start. A mobile spin-off created by Tencent, Don’t Starve: Newhome, was announced in 2020 and appears to still be in active development.
Klei hasn’t announced a release date for Don’t Starve Elsewhere, but if the game is anything like the developer’s previous games, it will be released in early access on PC before it makes its way to a full release on other platforms.
