== Content from other DLCs ==
Since Hamlet is the third DLC released for Don't Starve, it relies on several mechanics that were introduced in the Reign of Giants and Shipwrecked DLCs. Therefore these mechanics (and items/structures that are needed to deal with them) had to be included in Hamlet and are now also available to players who do not actually own Reign of Giants and/or Shipwrecked. These changes also affect default Don't Starve worlds that have been made compatible with or linked to Hamlet worlds.
Please note that this category is not meant to include Reign of Giants and/or Shipwrecked exclusive features that are indeed available in Hamlet worlds, but only to players who own all/both DLCs, such as the characters Wigfrid and Webber.

* The title of the DLC, Hamlet, has three meanings. It can refer to a village, be a pun on pigs (Hamlet), or be a reference to Shakespeare's play.
* The Hamlet DLC's release date was originally slated for Q1/Q2 2018. Early Access was originally planned to end April 2019.Forums Update: Don't Starve: Hamlet. The Aporkalypse! Posted on December 6, 2018.
* When Steam implemented the new wishlist feature in February 2018, they accidentally added the private estimated release date for Hamlet, March 20, 2018, instead of the public date of Q1/Q2 2018.Forums comment by developer Joe Wreggelsworth: "Ok - So I poked around and I think I figured out what happened. So in steam, we have 2 places to put a date, a public date and an estimated non-public date. We have March 20 as the internal private date. That was an estimation set a long long time ago when the project was first started. (I wasn't even aware of this date as it's basically a placeholder). It looks like Valve accidentally used this date when they rolled out the new wishlists and then quickly corrected it after that. Sorry for all the confusion there." Posted on February 16, 2018. This was soon corrected.
* The first Hamlet exclusive character was Warbucks, who was added during the DLC's beta. He was later retired from the DLC in Early Access update 307715. His files were kept in the game, and pre-existing saves with him would not change. In the update post on the forums, Klei gave their reasoning for removing him: "We weren't very happy with how Warbucks was working out. While trying to find ways to make him work, we decided that he just wasn't as interesting as we would like, and so we've made the decision to start from scratch with a new character."Game Update 307715 update on the Forums. Per Jason: "We weren't very happy with how Warbucks was working out. While trying to find ways to make him work, we decided that he just wasn't as interesting as we would like, and so we've made the decision to start from scratch with a new character. You can still continue your Warbucks saves as his files will not be removed from the game, but he will no longer be in the official lineup of starting characters." Posted on February 7, 2019.
* In the trailer, Wilson is seen riding a hot air balloon. This is reminiscent of a piece of concept art from the Forbidden Knowledge Trailer Puzzle.
* The setting is inspired by Monteverde, Costa Rica.Forums comment by developer Jason Dreger: "I hope I'm not spoiling the theory fun, but Monteverde had a strong influence for sure." Posted on November 19, 2018.
* In the earliest announcement post, the DLC's official description was given as "Wilson has found the portal to the origins of the Pigmen, and he’s off to explore their civilization. There may be some bushwhacking and tomb raiding involved, too."
