Cult of the Lamb News

Cult of the Lamb and Don’t Starve Together team up for a horrifying collaboration

To celebrate Cult of the Lamb’s first birthday, the game will be receiving its first ever collaboration, and what an apt crossover it is. The decrepit survival game that is Don’t Starve Together will be making its way into the realm of the cultists, while the relentless wilderness of Don’t Starve Together will be privy to some new Cult-inspired cosmetics.

Announced over on Xbox Wire, the developer behind Cult of the Lamb - Massive Monster - happens to be a pretty big fan of Don’t Starve Together. Cult of the Lamb’s art director, James Pearmain, shared that they are a big fan of befriending the pigs and having them follow you: “He wondered, could he make a whole game out of that?”

Klei Entertainment shares similar sentiments when it comes to experiencing Cult of the Lamb, too. After all, both games are alike in style, sharing similar mechanics around survival and plenty of horrifying quirks to discover. “Both games have been able to take items from the other game extremely faithfully,” thanks to their similarities.

We have partnered up with the wonderful team behind Don't Starve Together, Klei Entertainment, to celebrate their 10 year anniversary by bringing a new, exciting update to Cult of the Lamb!

Webber has made an appearance in Cult of the Lamb, and would love to join your cult!

Scroll over the text below to find out how to get Webber! When killing spiders at the base, there is a chance a skull will spawn. Bury this skull in a grave for the Webber Follower to appear! This Follower will have a trail of spidery friends following along behind. This new Follower form includes a sinister selection of variants too!

You will need to unlock this Follower first to access the new Penitence mode, and unlock the new décor!

Some strange technology has appeared from a mysterious land... just what is 'science'?

New decorations include:

Alchemy Engine
Deerclops Figure
Marble Tree
Pig Head Flag
Science Machine
Potted Treeguard
Hay Wall

[h3]Penitence Mode 🎮[/h3]
Arise, Lamb! Sate your ravenous hunger, and rest your weary eyes.

This is a brand new mode that brings in survival mechanics inspired by Don't Starve - Hunger, and Sleep!

When either bar is too low or empty, a mysterious timer will appear. You will take damage each time it counts down. Be sure to rest and feed your hungry little Lamb or not only will they perish, it will be game over... permanently. To play this new mode, select it when starting a new game (just like the Permadeath mode!).

The key to survival will be to manage both your Hunger and Sleep levels - they will continue to go down, even when on crusades. You will be able to abandon a crusade early, but this will come at a slight cost of some of the resources you gathered.

Cult of the Lamb joins Don't Starve Together in upcoming collab

Cult of the Lamb is one of my all-time favorite indie games, as is Don't Starve Together. I love playing the former for a fun single-player simulation experience of sorts while I look to the latter for chaotic fun with friends. If you've played either Cult of the Lamb or Don't Starve and feel the same way I do, then you'll be excited to hear that the two iconic indie gems are teaming up with each other for a mysterious collaboration according to some cryptic posts made by both Devolver Digital and Klei Entertainment.

Starving for more Cult of the Lamb?

See you on August 21st.
