On January 22, 2019, free "character refreshes" for the DST roster as well as paid DLC characters were announced to be released throughout 2019.[1] A total of four DLC characters were originally announced, however, as of the 2020 Roadmap, Klei stated that they were not going to commit to a specific number of new characters. Character refreshes continued in 2020, starting in March as in the previous year[2] and ending in September. Refreshes and 1 DLC character were announced in the 2021 Roadmap,[3] with 2021 refreshes beginning in April and ending in December. The 2022 Roadmap announced 4 more refreshes set to all be released by Q1 2023.[4] Each character update was also released with an animated short featuring the refreshed or newly added character.
The character refreshes consist of revamped abilities as well as a new purchasable skin set. This also included Warly who was a new addition to DST from the Don't Starve DLC Shipwrecked and was given a refresh to fit into a multiplayer environment.
Paid DLC characters can be unlocked through direct purchase of either a regular chest (including the character and one skin set) or a Deluxe chest (including the character and 3 skin sets) with the price depending on the character. They can also be woven with 2700 Spools.
