Official Description
Don’t Starve: Reign of Giants is an expansion pack that adds new characters, seasons, creatures, biomes, and other challenges to Don’t Starve.
The entire world of Don’t Starve has been expanded and is now even more uncompromising! New mysteries, challenges and scientific innovations await your discovery. Manage your resources well, because the wilderness of Don’t Starve has learned some new tricks.
Key Features:

Play as Wigfrid, a stage actress who went a bit too far with method acting on her latest role, an ancient Valkyrie, or Webber, a young boy who lives inside the spider who tried to eat him long ago.
- Year-round starvation: Struggle through a full year of seasons as you experience the torrential rain falls of spring and the blistering heat of summer.
- A bigger, badder world: New biomes have been filled to the brim with new creatures and gatherables that will either help you survive - or kill you.
- An extra save slot: You asked, we delivered.

Access
The Reign of Giants content may be turned on or off as a single unit when starting a new game. In the 'New Game' menu is a checkbox labeled "R of G"; when checked, the character selection, world customizations, and new game start-up will include all of the features of Reign of Giants (including unlocked characters). Players can still play vanilla worlds by checking the checkbox labeled "DS", even in versions where Reign of Giants is bundled with the base game.
If the Shipwrecked and/or Hamlet content is also downloaded, activation of this content is also done by checkbox in the 'New Game' menu, and only one of the checkboxes, Reign of Giants, Shipwrecked or Hamlet, may be checked for a new game.
