There&#8217;s talk of a redwood forest blighted by relentless rainstorms, as well as chilly, snow-covered peaks. Which brings up to Elsewhere&#8217;s big departure: the insistently flat planes of old now giving way to a &#8220;multi-tiered wilderness.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe perilous world is again procedurally generated, but now features more literal ups and downs. As well as those mountain peaks, Klei says players can expect to &#8220;swim across rushing rivers and tumultuous seas, and spelunk deep into winding cave systems&#8221; as their quest for survival continues. Of course, there&#8217;s the usual crafting, resource gathering, and building too, but players also need to keep an eye on the cursed Fog drifting across the landscape. &#8220;Will you run from it, teases Klei, &#8220;or risk your sanity to explore its secrets?&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThere&#8217;s no hint of a release date for Don&#8217;t Starve Elsewhere just yet (or even word of platforms <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2239770\/Dont_Starve_Elsewhere\/\">beyond Steam<\/a>), but hopefully Klei will be ready to share some of its darker mysteries soon.\n<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt data-autosize=\"crop_lossy\" data-uri=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/cobwhw.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/cobwhw.jpg\">\n    <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<section>\n    <span>Related topics<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurogamer.net\/dont-starve-is-back-for-more-darkly-whimsical-co-op-survival-in-dont-starve-elsewhere-and-this-time-theres-hills\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Matt Wales<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image credit: Klei Entertainment Klei Entertainment has unveiled a brand-new multiplayer instalment of its gloomily amusing survival series, Don&#8217;t Starve.
