Gamers will have new characters and biomes to use

The development team in charge of Don't Starve is announcing that it is working on a new expansion for the title, called Shipwrecked, which is set to be launched at some point in the fall and is created in collaboration with Capy.

The new content will introduce more playable characters to the game, and there are also new biomes that gamers can explore and more seasonal effects to deal with.

The team at Capy has previously worked on titles like Superbrothers: Sword and Sworcery, Super Time Force and Below.

The announcement does not offer too many details, but it adds that "Wilson and the whole Don’t Starve cast of characters embark on a sea-bound journey of exploration, adaptation and of course, starvation."

Don't Starve: Shipwrecked does not yet have a price or a clear launch date.

The core game is a very clever take on the survival concept, with mechanics from the action-adventure and rogue-like genres.

Gamers can control a cast of unlockable characters as they try to stay both fed and sane in a world where crafting and resource gathering are required to create fire and shelter at first and then to deploy more complex contraptions in order to discover more secrets about the world.
