Now that Don’t Starve: Console Edition is out on PlayStation 4 – and as a free download if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber! – Klei Entertainment is ready to tease what’s next for the visually striking survival game. A new trailer teases Reign of Giants DLC as “coming soon,” though there’s no date or even platform listed for the add-on’s release. All you get is a quick close-up shot of a hand-drawn giant’s ugly mug.

It’s a safe guess that the Reign of Giants DLC will introduce some manner of giant to the game. In Don’t Starve, your character is deposited into a randomly generated world with no resources and no real direction. You’ve got to figure out how to feed yourself, how to survive the deadly night, how to prepare for the even more deadly winter. There’s a lot of trial and error, a lot of ignominious dying. Even after you get everything figured out, a lousy starting point in a new world can end your fun quickly.

Klei’s post revealing the upcoming DLC doesn’t offer any info that you can’t get from the trailer, but you can check it out here. Or you can just watch the trailer below.

How to start the Nuka-World DLC in Fallout 4

People standing outside Nuka World.

The first major DLC expansion for Fallout 4 lets players go to the abandoned amusement park called Nuka-World. While there's plenty of fun and excitement to be had here, don't expect it to come from the roller coasters or carnival games since this park is the battleground between rival raider gangs. This new zone adds a ton of new quests and side activities to the base experience, but it isn't as simple to get to as a real theme park. Don't worry if your Pip-Boy isn't helping you get to Nuka-World -- we'll show you how to start this DLC.

How to start the Automatron DLC in Fallout 4

A man and a robot walking in the wastelands in Fallout 4.

Each piece of Fallout 4 DLC adds something substantial to the base experience. In the case of the Automatron expansion, an entire new questline pitting you against a robot army led by a figure known as the Mechanist. Starting it isn't as difficult as starting other DLCs like the Nuka-World expansion, but it-s still a bit cryptic. Buying the DLC doesn't automatically make it apparent how to actually start this new adventure, but we'll give you specific directions to find it in the wasteland.

One of 2023’s best indie games is getting a movie starring LaKeith Stanfield

James descends on an elevator in El Paso, Elsewhere.

El Paso, Elsewhere, one of Digital Trends' favorite indie games of 2023, now has a film adaptation in the works.

Variety reports that LaKeith Stanfield -- an actor known for his work in films like Judas and the Black Messiah, Knives Out, and Haunted Mansion, as well as TV shows like Atlanta -- is going to star in and produce the film. The adaptation is in the works at Di Bonaventure Pictures, the production company behind the Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Meg film franchises. Little else is known about the film at this time, although we'd presume it will be a fairly direct adaptation of this intense story-driven game.
