Don’t Starve Hamlet, a new single-player DLC update for Klei Entertainment’s open-world survival game, is currently in the works.
According to a post on the official Don’t Starve forum, the developer says that Don’t Starve: Hamlet will be available in Q1/Q2 2018.
“Wilson has found the portal to the origins of the Pigmen, and he’s off to explore their civilization. There may be some bushwhacking and tomb raiding involved, too,” writes Klei founder, Bigfoot (forum name).
