My theory on who the next dlc character is gonna be

[goblintwenty]

I predict that its Wilbur

the reason I think this is because of a pattern shown by the other characters. The pattern starts with the first part: Wortox, Wormwood and Wurt, Wortox and Wurt are both originally from DST while wormwood is originally from hamlet. My idea is that after Wanda its gonna be a character from one of Don't Starve's DLCS, because hamlet already has a character in DST (Wormwood). That keeps RoG and Shipwrecked, both characters from RoG are already in DST meaning the last DLC we are left with after eliminating the others is Shipwrecked. (This part is basically all OrangE's ideas) Every character (with the exception of Wanda) Is/neutral to something like Wortox being like Krampus, Wurt being neutral to Merms and Wormwood being neutral to P L A N T. With that they all have some movement buff and guess who has both of those traits, Wilbur.

I'd unironically welcome Wilbur, he was most useful (and fun!) in Reign of Giants because of it's flat mainland.

Perfect running grounds!

Id rather they focus on finishing the refreshes so we can finally get some meaty content updates

i didnt say this was the next update? just the next paid character

[sudoku]

Yeah i mean i hope there are no more dlc characters until all the refreshes are done

I think they would first need to add the monkeys from Shipwreck or at least something similar, since the Monkeys are a decent chunk of his gameplay, maybe adding some islands that can have bananas and monkeys. 

We need more interesting stuff in the ocean after all.

Well I had this idea like two years ago while I was thinking how to introduce the rest of the shipwreck crew and for the introduction of the monkeys for Wilbur I was thinking about craftable monkey barrels, I dunno whats the Wilbur lore (or if the shipwreck characters are canon at all) but I imagine that if he came from that train accident from the puzzles it wouldn't be imposible if he came to the constant with the rest of the circus monkeys.

 So this barrels could act similar to the prime ape huts or spider nests with them having like 3-5 monkeys living inside and wandering near the place, to make them different I was thinking in that the monkeys could harvest resources and bring them back to the barrel and wilbur could acces it like a chest to retrive what he need, also I gues the monkeys would be recruitable giving them fruit if bananas arent included to an island or something.

Here there are the drawing that I make like two years ago. (Sorry for the bad quality I made them really small for some reason):

Also I had the idea of this barrel with a rope so Wilbur could travel through the void of the caves but that may be broken and I think there is supposed to be walls in there anyway:

monke

[Echsrick]

i would rather have something new, like a lizard person, that would be great

[goblintwenty]

i mean this is based on a pattern i saw, not just who i want inside the game

Yes, but also use his tail to hold on to the walking cane.

That's all I ask.

I will hold out hope that someday the final 6 DS solo dlc characters make it into the game, new DLC characters are OKAY but… if Klei EVER plans to create a New game in the DS Franchise: They will have exhausted all their character ideas on just DST.

I think since they already have some characters (and a fanbase eagerly wanting to play them) they should save the new characters for a DST 2.. (I mean hell guys- DST already has Winona, Wortox, Wurt, Walter, Wanda & for us console players who didn’t get Hamlet until AFTER DST Released Wormwood, Wormwood. 
that is a whooping cast of 6 new characters EXCLUSIVE to DST..

In comparison the Reign of Giants DLC had 2- Wigfrid and Webber.

Shipwrecked had 4- Warly, Walani, Wilbur, Woodlegs.

Hamlet had 4- Wheeler, Wilba, Wormwood (for PC players) Wagstaff (for console players)

I think it’s safe to start asking for the last 6 characters to be ported over.. and save any further NEW characters for a potential franchise sequel- Tweak and continue to improve the ones that are already there.. but ultimately save huge new ideas so whatever comes after DST has something special too.

But then again: Klei’s plans could be to just make DST into a “Games as Service” type thing where they just continue to add more characters to it and new ideas and don’t ever bother releasing a sequel.

All that I do know.. is I want to be cute Monke running around on all fours with my axe or torch curled up in my tail.

a reworked walani and woodlegs for dst would be great, maybe a whole shipwrecked themed update? with more ocean biomes and all the sw characters, and along with that wheeler should get a rework and be added into the game since her ability is mostly just an underpowered soul hop like OrangE said and add wilba as well. Anyways i think you should start a separate thread since this seems like a cool concept

Id be surprised if they dip back into the old DS cast after the big success of a new original character, wanda. 

Idk if any of the remaining DS survivors have what people have come to expect of a DST character in 2021. 

It would be nice for all the survivors to be united for story reasons or whatever but idk if that would be worth giving up new and exciting unique characters. Unless they can/want to polish and transmute the remaining runts of DS into DST gold somehow

Hate to burst your bubble but we already got a character from Shipwrecked, Warly.

I think they should definitely focus on refreshing the current cast before adding any more characters, whether they be ports or completely new, but once Wolfgang and the remaining four survivors get theirs then I would 100% be up for getting reworks and ports of the singleplayer characters. 

All these characters already have fanbases, especially the Shipwrecked characters who feel like they've been with us since the dawn of time by now. Don't Starve Together is a sequel, so having every character all be in one spot sounds incredibly satisfying to me. I know a lot of people seem to be against this, usually for two reasons: 

• a) They think porting the singleplayer characters will stop people from playing singleplayer (which is an incredibly flimsy argument)
• b) Nobody will be excited for old content 

I won't even get into the first reason because I would be here all day explaining why it's stupid logic, but for the second reason... people were excited for Warly and Wormwood, weren't they? I feel like those two were incredibly well received. And nobody's asking for a straight copy-and-paste of them. I feel like all the singleplayer characters have an insane amount of untapped potential that could be explored with reworks of their own.

Little question completely aside of WHO is it going to be. Is there any additional character even planned to be added in the game ? I'm almost sure Wanda was supposed the last one after Walter got changed to be a base character. I'm welcome to any info related to a possible next survivor.

Probably if there's nothing shown yet I'll be assuming there won't be any new unless the next roadmap tell us anything about it.
