Don’t Starve: Giant Edition, the PS Vita version of Klei Entertainment’s intrepid roguelike, has had its release date pencilled in for September 2.
Announced via Sony’s U.S. PlayStation Blog by Klei Entertainment Co-Founder Jamie Cheng, the ‘Giant Edition’ of the game will feature a plethora of new and exciting content which will undoubtedly tide eager gamers over for a while longer.
Here’s a rundown of the key details associated with this particular version:
– ‘’The Giant Edition costs $14.99, and includes the Reign of Giants expansion. This expansion is usually $4.99, and we’ve bundled it in for everyone. It includes new characters, seasons, biomes, and other challenges that will happily kill you.
– Unfortunately, in order for us to get the game on Vita, we had to rewrite a bunch of backend code to optimize it. Because of this, the save games are not compatible with PS4, so there is no cross play.
– BUT! We love you all, so we’re making the game cross buy! If you own Don’t Starve on PS4, you get the Vita version for free, and vice versa. Thank you for supporting our game, and please spread the word so we can keep making more interesting games!’’
Don’t Starve’s ‘Reign of Giants’ expansion pack features two new characters, year-round starvation, giants (as to be expected), an extra save slot and a bigger world to explore.
