Though the strange wilderness of Don't Starve is a lonesome place, it's become home to over a million players so far across PC and PS4. With such a large install base, developer Klei is considering bringing Wilson's harrowing tale of survival to new platforms, including iOS, Android, and Vita.

"We're investigating a proper Vita version [of Don't Starve] at the moment, but we're not quite sure yet," Klei's Corey Rollins told Edge. "Currently, a lot of people play Don't Starve: Console Edition using the PS4's remote play, and really enjoy it. So we're looking into a proper Vita release. As for iOS and mobile, that is something we've also been investigating and we think might work, but it's not at the front of our development priorities right now. It's still on our radar, though."

For the more immediate future, Klei is currently working on Don't Starve's upcoming autumn season DLC called Reign of Giants. Check out the teaser below.

But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
