Gift Icon.png Content from other DLCs

Since Hamlet is the third DLC released for Don't Starve, it relies on several mechanics that were originally featured in the Reign of Giants and Don't Starve: Shipwrecked DLCs. Therefore these mechanics (and items/structures that are needed to deal with them) had to be included in Hamlet and are now also available to players who do not actually own Reign of Giants or Shipwrecked.

Placeholder.png Trivia

File:Don't Starve Hamlet Announcement Trailer
200px
  • The title of the DLC, Hamlet, has three meanings. It can refer to a village, be a pun on pigs (Hamlet), or be a reference to Shakespeare's play.
  • The Hamlet DLC's release date was originally slated for Q1/Q2 2018.
  • When Steam implemented the new wishlist feature in February 2018, they accidentally added the private estimated release date for Hamlet, March 20, 2018, instead of the public date of Q1/Q2 2018[4]. This was soon corrected.
  • In the trailer, Wilson is seen riding a hot air balloon. This is reminiscent of a piece of concept art from the Forbidden Knowledge Trailer Puzzle.
  • The setting is inspired by Monteverde, Costa Rica. [5]
