Don’t Starve was originally released in 2013 and combines roguelike elements with survival gameplay. Players assumed control of Wilson, an “intrepid Gentleman Scientist” trapped in the Constant, a nightmare realm filled with monsters. In order to survive, players both have to fight off monsters and craft items and cook food. A series of DLC was also released for the game, with a standalone expansion called Don’t Starve Together adding multiplayer functionality. Klei Entertainment has continued to release new content for the game, with the most recent being a crossover with Cult of the Lamb.
Full details about the game weren’t revealed as part of the announcement, but Glass Cannon Unplugged promised mechanics that emphasized player choice, dynamic combat, and open world combat. Not surprisingly, the game will also feature Don’t Starve’s unique art style.
