gorge coming back?

[PimppaH]

I was just wondering if gorge was ever coming back, scince alot of players, including me missed this event, 

So anyone have any info on this?

There's always a possibility, but Klei is focusing on new content for the game right now instead of events, so if it does come back it shouldn't be for a while.

Your best bet is waiting for the Forged Forge mod team to make the Gorged Gorge mod, but that should also take a while.

Sadly not for a long while from the looks of it. This was taken from the 2019 roadmap thread (linked below). I'd be willing to say at the EARLIEST we'd see gorge in 2020 (maybe mid year?). But that's a wild guess.

First, I’d like to recap what happened in 2017/2018:
In 2017 we launched the Forge, and followed it up in 2018 with the Gorge. The idea was that we could offer a new way of playing Don’t Starve Together, in a limited-time format. We were a bit burned out on creating DST core game content and this format allowed us to try something a bit different, so we made these crazy game modes and provided them to the community for free.

Every time we launched these events, tons of players came to play, and in every instance we hit our highest ever DST concurrency. We’re super thrilled that so many people came to play the our weird game events!

While we enjoyed the events and are happy with the result, there were some drawbacks: 

• They took WAY longer to make than we expected, so we weren’t able to make as much content as we wanted, and it left little time to do things like bug fixes and Quality of Life updates for the base game.
• Because we run the servers for these events, we also incurred the cost of these servers. Those of you who have been here a while know that Don’t Starve was not architected to be a multiplayer game, so running them on our servers was extremely inefficient. In short, even though we loved that everyone came to play, the item sales were only barely covering the costs of the servers.
• We found that it was exceedingly difficult for us to run these events on console and as such underserved our console players.

It has been a valuable experience and we think the game is better for it, however we feel that it’s time that we turn our attention back to the core Don’t Starve Together experience: surviving together.

even though the servers for the events may be a bit costly, it would be a good decision to bring some people back with these events just so they will end up seeing that the base game is being updated too. its kind of a gamble tho so dont really know what to expect from klei regarding this

Something tells me that Wortox Gorge dialogue will be made for a 2020 Gorge event once the next dlc characters are made.

If its not, why aren’t items from the Gorge dropping?

originally it was due to the forge, hallowed nights, winter's feast and then YotPK clumped on a time schedule but like 4 months after it's boring and confusing.
