DST’s Lunar Saga Ends in Chaos, Thunder, and Steam Sales
Hostile Takeover: Don't Starve Together Just Went Lunar-Level Insane
If you’ve been sleeping on Don’t Starve Together, it’s time to wake up, slap on your moon goggles, and buckle up. The Hostile Takeover update went live on June 12th, and spoiler alert: it’s bonkers in the best way possible.
Klei dropped a full-cosmic haymaker with this one.
Lunar Endgame, Served With a Side of Electrocution
Let’s get the big stuff out of the way. This DST update isn’t just a couple bug fixes and a new hat.
It’s the final chapter of the Lunar saga, bringing a brand-new boss encounter that’s equal parts cosmic horror and electrical trauma. You like pain? Good. Because this fight is gonna throw lightning at your bones while whispering sweet existential dread in your ear.
If you’ve been following the lunar plotline, this is the payoff you’ve been starving for (pun very intended). If you haven’t? Honestly, now’s a great time to binge it like it’s the last season of your favorite anime. Klei just served the finale and it absolutely slaps.

New Mechanics That Actually Change the Game
This isn’t just lore crumbs. Hostile Takeover rolls out several game-changers:
Electrocute Status: Now your dumb mistake of getting zapped in the rain might also shock everyone near you. You’re basically a walking Tesla coil. You’re welcome, Wolfgang.
Wandering Trader: Finally, someone who’ll take your weird junk and trade it for slightly better weird junk. It’s capitalism, baby.
Pearl’s Island Relocation: If you didn’t like where Pearl spawned before, you can now un-ruin your save file.
No More Ocean Death Rage: You can now recover drowned items a bit easier, so feel free to keep playing like a klutz.
Controller Rebinding and Grid Building: For the builders, hoarders, and perfectionists out there. Yes, we see you.
Skins So Good They Should Be Illegal
You want drip? We got that drip.
This update came with new character skins, ornaments, crabpack cosmetics, and even a moon-themed Twitch drop. Oh, and login bonuses? Yup. If you log in during Klei Fest, you get exclusive goodies like Tammie and Terramite skins.
It’s basically Halloween and your birthday rolled into one. That is, if your aesthetic is “cosmic plague doctor” meets “glowing lunar priest.”
Klei Fest: Steam Sale Gold Rush
Here’s the part where your wallet cries. Klei Fest is live, and it’s the perfect chance to bulk up your Steam library with Don’t Starve Together, Oxygen Not Included, Griftlands, Mark of the Ninja, Lab Rat, Rotwood, and Beastieball—all for literal pocket change.

It’s giving off some strong FTL vibes, so make sure to check out Klei Fest before it’s over!
Salty Takes from the Forums
You know we had to do it – no update is complete without a little DST forum salt:
“So you’re telling me Pearl’s island can now get wrecked by the story? Cool, just spent 40 hours decorating it.”
“Final boss fight is great…if you enjoy wiping three times before you even see it.”
“I got electrocuted in my own base and it chain-zapped my pigs. Thanks, Klei.”
We love this community.
Your Steam Library Needs This DST Chaos
To wrap it up: Hostile Takeover is peak DST. It’s wild, beautifully chaotic, and a love letter to long-time players who’ve been through the grind. Combine that with Klei Fest’s dirt-cheap pricing and there’s literally no reason to not be playing Don’t Starve Together right now.
Unless you want to starve.
In which case, good luck out there, champ.
