Hello everybody,
First of all, a HUGE thanks to everybody participating in the beta right now. We have got so much feedback from you all (almost 12,000 of you!), it's really helped to energize the team and we're all super excited to launch Don't Starve: Hamlet in December.
Here is an update of our plans for Hamlet:
- As planned, the Beta phase of Hamlet ends today.
- As a thanks for all your outstanding feedback, all current beta testers will get to keep the game, for free. Thanks for signing up and helping out, you all really knocked it out of the park, and it's very much appreciated.
- The price of Hamlet is going to be $6.99. We feel the amount of content that Hamlet has is worth a slightly higher price; we hope you agree! Players will also be able to purchase the new Megapack Plus, which is 33% off all the Don’t Starve franchise content, and you can complete the bundle and only purchase the part you do not currently own.
- We’ve received a lot of feedback that players want access to the game before December, and that it feels ready to play now. The team isn’t quite ready to call it out of Beta right now, so we’re going to fix a few more bugs, balance the game, introduce Wilba & the Roc, then launch it in Early Access on November 8.
- Between November the 8th and launch, we will continue with more content and bug fix updates and prepare for the coming Aporkalypse.
Once again, thanks everybody for another great round of beta!
