Don’t Starve later launched on iOS in 2015 and Android devices in 2016. Previously, 2013’s Don’t Starve was first released on PC, with a PS4 version that came out in 2014 and an Xbox One version in 2015. The game doesn’t seek to shake things up entirely but instead refine the series formula in a mobile format for free-to-play audiences. Don’t Starve: Newhome looks to bring improvements on the well-liked formula, as is the case with most game sequels. The next installment in the franchise aims to keep the cartoonish art style while adding a new campaign mode and gameplay mechanics fit for mobile devices, including new co-op multiplayer gameplay and a revamped progression system. However, Tencent did not give a release date for the new game, so it’s unclear when a full version will come out. Newhome goes into a closed beta phase next month, which players can sign up for on its website. The new release will also bump up the survival gameplay mechanics and Don’t Starve’s multiplayer component. Developed by Shengqu Games and published by Tencent Games, Don’t Starve: Newhome will expand upon the foundation previous Don’t Starve iterations laid out.
