But it’s coming from Tencent, not Klei
A newDon’t Starvegame surfaced this week, and it’s out of left field.
Don’t Starve: Newhomeis a free-to-play mobile spin-off developed by Shengqu Interactive, published by Tencent Games, andlicensedunder Klei Entertainment. If you’re out, I gotcha. If you’re in – or at least in enough to want to hear more – there’s a cinematic trailer and aclosed beta testcoming in mid-July.
Shengqu saysDon’t Starve: Newhomeis multiplayer-focused and play sessions are “faster.”
“Players will be able to build persistent homes, discover new creatures, builds, and crafting options, and team up with friends online to delve even deeper into the world ofDon’t Starve: Newhome. The game will also feature a new story mode, ongoing live support, and much more.” There’s a pair of screens, too.
Sometimes I forget how big theDon’t Starvebrand has gotten. A rebuilt-for-mobile title from another studio isn’t ideal, but I’m happy about the series’ success. Its art direction is still second to none.
