Don't Starve Together

A short intermission has arrived for Don't Starve Together under the banner No Day at the Beach, bridging the gap before the team's next major update.

What changed

  • Free Login Reward: Players who log in during the limited-time window receive the "Beach Day Chest," containing a random selection of five swimsuits from the new Seaside Collection, which comes in three distinct styles.
  • Streaming Drops: The "Bugburst Waterballoon" has been added to the Chitinous Collection and is obtainable through stream drops.
  • Mobile Release: Playdigious has released Don't Starve Together: Pocket Edition on Android and iOS. Klei links to Playdigious's site for details.
  • Animated Short: The intermission includes a short animated film tied to the summer theme.

On the development front, Klei notes the team is "deep into the next update" — described as the conclusion of the shadow arc — and characterizes a beta as "not too far away," though no date is given.

For players, the login reward offers a low-friction way to expand a wardrobe while the studio finishes what sounds like a significant story chapter.
