New Don’t Starve Together Steam Early-Access Trailer
In preparation for Monday’s release, take a look at the new Don’t Starve Together Steam Early-Access Trailer.
What is Don’t Starve Together?
Don’t Starve Together is a standalone multiplayer expansion of the uncompromising wilderness survival game, Don’t Starve.
Cooperate with your friends in a private game, or take your chances with strangers online. Work with other players to survive the harsh environment, or strike out on your own.
Do whatever it takes, but most importantly, Don’t Starve.
Why the Frontier Pack?
When the developer opened up the initial Beta signups in September, they were overwhelmed with the demand, and in a few days they received over 80,000 registrations. Since then, they’ve steadily sent out keys to people who signed up.
As part of the Beta signup process, the developer found that there are a lot of people who really want into the Beta, and even while giving out a hundreds of keys every day, it became clear to them that they needed a release valve for the demand. Specifically, people were starting to buy keys in back channels, with varying success. That’s why they’re now providing the Frontier Pack: a clear, official channel for access.
With it being 4.99 for two copies for current owners of Don’t Starve on steam, they hope that everyone feels this is a fair way to get into the Beta and introduce the game to their friends.
