Don't Starve Together (PC) keeps the core game's peculiar aesthetic. Beautiful, stylized hand-drawn paper-cutout-like animation is reminiscent of Tim Burton's works. Full of contrasts, with a strongly gothic atmosphere the visuals of Don't Starve Together perfectly capture the mood of a game set in a world where the arrival of darkness can kill. Don’t Starve: Reign of Giants DLC Don’t Starve: Reign of Giants is an expansion pack that adds new characters, seasons, creatures, biomes, and other challenges to Don’t Starve. Don't Starve Together Don't Starve Together is a standalone multiplayer expansion of the uncompromising wilderness survival game, Don't Starve.
Klei continue going through all the characters in Don't Starve Together to bring them up to date with all the new content and game mechanics with a fresh upgrade out now.
As expected of Klei, it also came with one of their brilliant animated shorts that I love so much:

Highlights of the character refresh:
- When in combat Wigfrid now gains Inspiration, which, as it fills her meter, allows players to use the new craftable songs.
- Fighting stronger foes will provide more Inspiration.
- Disengaging combat will cause the inspiration to diminish.
- Wigfrid has a new Stagecraft crafting tab from which she can make her new songs.
- Singing adds a buff to all players in an area around Wigfrid, which remains active as long as she keeps her inspiration level up.
- As Wigfrid's inspiration raises, she can preform up to three abilities at a time.
- Some abilities have an instant effect, at the cost of reducing Wigfrid's inspiration
Klei also put up a fresh set of skin packs to further support the game:

A few assorted bugs were also fixed during this update. As for what's next, they mentioned the Hallowed Nights event is coming up next month. Don't expect a lot of changes though, although there's a few new bits, as they were focused on an upcoming major content update.
The next big update is called 'Forgotten Knowledge' and it's going to be released in October. No details on what's in it yet but they did drop a teaser:
What do you think that is?
Whatever Forgotten Knowledge turns out to be, I've no doubt it will be fun. Klei have repeatedly expanded Don't Starve Together into such a massive exploration survival game, it's absolutely brilliant. The Troubled Waters update back in July was pretty great! It might actually be one of my favourite survival games, it easily has the best style.
