A fresh start and a change of surroundings is just the thing for someone looking for their first big scientific breakthrough. Unfortunately for Wilson, his surroundings were about to change far more drastically than he anticipated. Full Details on the Wilson Refresh: klei.gg/DSTCurrentUpdate
I researched the first short in remembrance. Now the question is, did Wilson and wagstaff have a prior connection, or did the moon storms make them real friendly?
Theory: Wilson is taking notes on the roses at the beginning of the animation because he was suspicious of the rose on Maxwell’s suit at the end of Encore. He’s doing research to see if that rose is the same as the roses Charlie is leaving on the statues.
In this video we got 2 vital lore drops: 1) We now know what normal rats look like in the DST universe 2) Wilson made himself a clipboard and pencil for taking notes :)
One cool detail I noticed is that the music that plays when Wilson is in the attic is a remix of the music from Forbidden Knowledge animation, released exactly 10 years ago.
0:33 is such a good still frame for one of the loading screens. Wilson and Wagstaff look really similar to each other so it's interesting to learn that Wilson is staying in Wagstaff's old house. I wonder what their relation to each other is supposed to be
They seem to be familiar with each other, I don't think just meeting for 10 minutes during the moon storms would make them seem this close, given Wilson is often suspicious of folk
@@amirtaktouk555 in the poem there is essentially a insane person who murders an old man, hides his body in the floorboards, and when the police come to investigate, his heart starts beating.
@@Aqua311 It could be, now we know wagstaff now lives in wilsons home, as you can see his glove turning the radio down at the end of the animation, is likely thats where they did their experiments.
The saddest part was when Wilson looked up at Wagstaff and said "You'll make me proud dad, I know you will!" And Wagstaff replied saying "I sure Will-Son".
I like how Wilson sees a mysterious machinery with a hologram figure in the middle of a forest and just eagerly follows him. Man, it's been ten years and he has never learned from his mistakes. 😂
I've convinced myself that wagstaff is a relative of some kind, possibly an uncle or older brother (time in the constant is a lil wacky, a bit crazy even) that he looked up to, and that's why he's so obsessed with "science"
@@intrepidturtlesplat-hi1ep I don't think so. Wagstaff is just profoundly knowledgeable about the Constant and way more careful than Wilson concerning the mixture of science and magic. That radio he's carefully mapped out was the one Maxwell used to instruct Wilson on how to make the first portal. In the end Wag isn't even *in* the Constant, he just projects himself there since the original game
the one thing that got me is we see in the Winona animation that Wagstaff is pulled into the Constant. its not simply a hologram because Winona still has a glove after the portal closes.
I’m so happy we get to explore more of good old Wilson in this trailer, the music as always is exceptional as always and I hope we one day see it get released as as standalone track!
truly insane how so much of the game's lore remains a mystery. after all these years theres still more and more to unpack about so many of the characters' backstories its honestly mindblowing.
@@someone24688 what I like is how this stuff isn’t just flat out told to you. Every medium, game, comics, events/updates, all have a little lore scattered and IMPLIES things.
I wonder if Wagstaff planned for someone to find his old lab all along. It seemed he left everything for Wilson to find! I'm happy Wilson is getting more spotlight as well!
Well crap then... Wagstaff make Wilson make deal with Maxwell and now wagstaff literally stay at Wilson house with functional portal. Wagstaff didn't need to make deal for forbidden knowledge but sacrifice some poor scientist
Incredible, I love the expressions and idiosyncrasies we see here on Wilson. Just that little moment when he tossed and caught the key did so much to establish his (over)confident character
I really really love the fact that even though the art style shifted towards characters having relatively normal hands and arms that aren't overly stylized Wilson still has the same terrifying inhuman claw things he always did implying this is just a Wilson-specific thing he probably horribly mutated after exposing himself to a million failed experiments. That's amazing comitment to detail. And a bit concerning. Wilson should definitely get that one checked out.
Actually, that's what happens after you sit on the Nightmare Throne. It warps you in ways no one can truly know, after all.. for fuck's sake, Maxwell has the same hands! As does Charlie!
Amazing, absolutely amazing. Wagstaff, what are you up to? Poor Wilson, you have the curiosity of a catcoon. Love you Klei, Amazing job with having the Roses in the first half and Wagstaff in the second perfectly circling back to the 2023 Roadmap of the Moon and Charlie duking it out.
Fun fact: according to the information that Klei gave us when Wagstaff was first mentioned in 2013, the first radio that he ever created was made in Sidney, Ohio.
I've gotta say, all these animations bring so much life into the characters we know and love. It's one thing to read a character's quotes or curios for personality, but actually seeing them interact with their surroundings and more interestingly, their troubled pasts, is so incredible. You've heard it a million times, but thank you so much for this game and the commitment it needed to build up this amazing community!

really really love the small tuft of hair sticking out at Wilson's profile side, makes him looking more dorky and adorable! the short also gives more mysteries than ever! keep up the awesome work, Klei!

Another banger! I love the subtle use of both the DS and DST main menu themes! That along with the revelation about where wilson once lived in had my jaw open for a good while-
Love how Wilson, in his flashback, can't see himself without his changed hands from Nightmare throne. And the terrible realization in his eyes when he understands that this nice old man with interrest for the same hobby than him, the old propriatary of his home, is in reality one of the principal causes of his transfert in the Constant in buildind the emettor (this portail electronic thing) and the receptor (the radio). It's like if the Constant said him you could never escape from your destiny because, ten years after having been taken by the Constant, you meet the man who builds the thing which will allow Maxwell to interract with Wilson and be kidnapped for ten long years... Congratulations, by the way !
at the last part showing the attic of the building with the portal Wilson first built still in perfect condition is mind blowing to me, and with a familiar glove toying with the radio's dial just opens more questions but also gives us an answer, we now know how the grainy transmission is getting into and out of the constant
Man these shorts have invested me in the lore of this game more of any other im surprised I don't see more people doing things like this because these are amazing and you still tell the story so well even without words
Wilson looks so adorable in every new animation that comes out, this has been one of my favorite animations hands down. ♡ please bring us more stories with wilson and wendy.
This is so GOOD. The animation is so well done and the callback to the first don't starve animation made me feel so happy, not only that but the various leitmotifs from single player don't starve has to be real treat for the older players.
There's something so nostalgic about seein the old house from the first animation trailer, i really liked the details here and there Great work as usual
Did Wilson unknowingly move into Wagstaff's old cabin before getting Maxwelled into the Constant? His signature goggles were at the chemistry station, a dead body was in the attic floorboards (can't even give WX a proper burial, I suppose), and a Constant Radio was hidden behind a wall panel. He's even inhabiting it in the real world now that Wilson's gone. Too much of a coincidence to the one man who captured a spiderling and brought it back to the real world.
I love the character interactions between these two. I love both these characters and I hope we get to see a lot more of these interactions in the future! I was 9 years old when I seen the first Wilson short and I started playing this game and I loved it ever since. For the longest time I was wondering how Wilson obtained a Voxola radio, and just chalked it up to him buying one. Now it all makes sense. The skeleton under the floor boards is very mysterious and makes me wonder what kind of experiments Wagstaff has done in that old house. Wilson's reaction to the skeleton was just golden and such a wilson thing to do. Love the animation! This game will always have a special place in my heart.
Klei, thank you so much for all the amazing work you're putting into this game! I have relished in all the lore these refreshes have brought with them! Seeing Wilson in one has been absolutely amazing!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Klei, your animation and team is such an inspirational for others and me, This is fantastic and beutiful to see once again an old memory from the past, you are really the best RUclips animator on the platform...
Oh my god! Such a blast of nostalgia mixed with something new! It reminded me of how I felt when I first played Don't Starve and saw Wilson's house in the opening. So good! Don't Starve and DST are 2 of my favorite games ever... This animation just reminded me of that and how it felt being flung into the Constant for the first time.
I haven't consistently played Don't Starve the past decade, but I always come back to it, and it's wild to me that I have grown up with this game. I'm so happy it's still around and better than ever before. I love the devs of this game, they all seem to genuinely care about every single thing which is sadly so rare to find nowadays.
I gotta say, I live for these shorts! I love the detailing and care put into them, like the paper texture of Wilson making him pop out visually. Props to the animation team 👏
This animation brings me so much joy seeing more my favorite character's backstory, and this also reminded me that Wilson still has that "forbidden knowledge" given to him by Maxwell. Wonder what Wilson and Wagstaff are going to get up to now?
I love how the story of what is happening now is now carrying over to the character trailers, we both see more of them while seeing how the events of together are progressing, good stuff!
I never would have thought that Wagstaff and Wilson would have had known each other before the Constant. It make since tho. I can’t wait to see what happens as the story progresses!
words can’t describe how much I enjoy this short cartoons. i met project long ago when I was in school. I love don’t starve and klei, thank you so much for your content!❤❤❤ (sorry if I have mistakes English is not my native language)
I have goosebumps, I got back to 2013 by seeing Wilson's house, to when I used to play DS on the ps3. I love how Wagstaff entered the lore and how much he hides and, at the same time, he controls, can't wait to see where all this will go, thank you Klei!!!
Crow vibing in the post credits is honestly my new favorite thing. We need crow lore. I mean you already gave us some crow lore from the Wes short technically but give us more we need more-
The animations are amazing klei !❤ Its been only an year since I've been playing dst and damn the animation shorts are what made me go through the entire dst lore in one night and Wilson is my favorite character so I'm happy that he is now getting more attention :)
Ngl this animation made me so nostalgic for the days when single player Don't Stave was randomly the free game for ps+ one month and tiny 5 year old me would boss my mum around and cry if she skip that little animation in his house doing science stuff

I researched the first short in remembrance. Now the question is, did Wilson and wagstaff have a prior connection, or did the moon storms make them real friendly?
I hate that I was not surprised that Wilson's reaction to a literal skeleton under the floorboards was basically "Oh no! Anyway-"
Poor Wilson has been through some stuff… judging by this animation, he has quite literally been to hell and back
and then he proceeds to nail that said skeleton up in a corner later

That makes sense
That's actually a good theory tbh
True, just checked the encore video and it's way clearer now
I thought that was obvious but cool to write it down
Over 10 years since we've last seen Wilson's house! You're making me feel old, Klei 😅
wilson house lore
I guess the implication is that that was Wagstaff's house once? Hm.
Still my favorite animation they've done.
Imagine how old Klei feels, also I was 21 back then 🥲
"10 years"
*Takes a deep breath*
So this is what it feels like, huh?
In this video we got 2 vital lore drops:
1) We now know what normal rats look like in the DST universe
2) Wilson made himself a clipboard and pencil for taking notes :)
I mean, we know what rats look like already from the original cenimatic trailer, if im not wrong
@@cakeeatingpirate I am choosing to pretend that cinematic didn't exist then
@@cakeeatingpirateThen we got more rat lore now
I mean, there are bigger rats than those ones in real life
@@clamdeity why?? it looks so cool!
Wilson: *finds skeleton *
Also Wilson: *hides it back, like "oh, well, sorry for distrubing ya" *
I guess you could say that...
He was an interference
“Better you than me.”
-Wilson when examining a failed survivor
all for the science... he murdered bunch of rats in 2013 trailer just to build strange scientific machine...
Rest in peace buddy
Wilson: aw man someone already took the loot
I loved when Wilson uncovered that chair, the foreshadowing of the nightmare throne made me feel that tingle the lore always gives me~
Also the chair he sits on in his first animation
ah yes i felt the same way -DNB
All of the character rework trailers have given me lore tingle
Wilson sat on the nightmare throne for years on end, he would probably recognize that form miles away
@@leonardofilho7397 The nightmare throne came after, this animation it's from before he even was sent to the constant
I love how wilson just found a skeleton in the house and just went "Im going to pretend i didn't see that" and just went with his life.
Wilson: 🧑🦯🧑🦯🧑🦯
Insert lyrics to course of blinded by the light But only Certain parts of it so that it's oooo I'm blind no I can't see
looking at the original animation from 10 years ago, looks like he took it out & hung it next to his desk!

they're lovers

Same!
Looks like Wagstaff is in Wilson's home, projecting himself using the portal Wilson built.
He be like: hi how are ya
Wagstaff was the one controlling things all along? Le gasp.
Probably coincidental or accidental but it may explain a few things.

at the last part showing the attic of the building with the portal Wilson first built still in perfect condition is mind blowing to me, and with a familiar glove toying with the radio's dial just opens more questions but also gives us an answer, we now know how the grainy transmission is getting into and out of the constant
The moment Wilson finds the radio behind the door reminds me so much of the movie "Coraline“
Man these shorts have invested me in the lore of this game more of any other im surprised I don't see more people doing things like this because these are amazing and you still tell the story so well even without words
Wilson looks so adorable in every new animation that comes out, this has been one of my favorite animations hands down. ♡ please bring us more stories with wilson and wendy.
These lore videos are amazing! I hope they don’t stop with the reworks.
Well only Walter and Wanda didn't got a rework yet
@@minegagadoli they are not getting a rework...
@@patrickarana4470 this year*
I don't know why but Wilson Looking at his old stuff is soo... Heart warming
Got to say this animation was very well done thank you creators at klei entertainment for this master piece
God, I simply love these short animations about Don't Starve Together Lore
I once joked about how he will get transmutation. Little did I know, I would be entirely correct.
This is so GOOD. The animation is so well done and the callback to the first don't starve animation made me feel so happy, not only that but the various leitmotifs from single player don't starve has to be real treat for the older players.
WHAT AN AMAZING ANIMATION!!! congrats to everyone who did it... and oh, i loved! klei never disappoints.
It began with the radio and it will end with the radio, Klei's giving us more questions than answers like always lol, love this!
There's something so nostalgic about seein the old house from the first animation trailer, i really liked the details here and there
Great work as usual
The animation quality has improved a lot, and the music remained as good, but also got a variety. I really love it. Thank you klei!
I literally only use Wilson in DS, that's how much I love him. I'm so glad we're getting more story lore!
Did Wilson unknowingly move into Wagstaff's old cabin before getting Maxwelled into the Constant? His signature goggles were at the chemistry station, a dead body was in the attic floorboards (can't even give WX a proper burial, I suppose), and a Constant Radio was hidden behind a wall panel. He's even inhabiting it in the real world now that Wilson's gone. Too much of a coincidence to the one man who captured a spiderling and brought it back to the real world.
Finally, our boy Wilson gets some love
I love the character interactions between these two. I love both these characters and I hope we get to see a lot more of these interactions in the future! I was 9 years old when I seen the first Wilson short and I started playing this game and I loved it ever since. For the longest time I was wondering how Wilson obtained a Voxola radio, and just chalked it up to him buying one. Now it all makes sense. The skeleton under the floor boards is very mysterious and makes me wonder what kind of experiments Wagstaff has done in that old house. Wilson's reaction to the skeleton was just golden and such a wilson thing to do. Love the animation! This game will always have a special place in my heart.
The highly anticipated Wilson short! Thanks for the awesome shorts Klei!
Wilson!!!! you have NO idea how much i LOVE that he's gotten a refresh!!! i love seeing more of my boy, i'm excited to see his new skills!!!
I haven’t touched Don’t Starve (especially DST) in years, but the animated shorts are why I keep watching
I’m fangirling so hard right now. Good job Klei on the rework and short. Wilson is my favorite character.
We're coming full circle, these animated shorts are always awesome and bring the same joy they did when I was younger
I love Wilson, it's so great to get more Wilson content finally!! Good job Klei, congrats on 10 years! :)
Klei, thank you so much for all the amazing work you're putting into this game! I have relished in all the lore these refreshes have brought with them! Seeing Wilson in one has been absolutely amazing!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Klei, your animation and team is such an inspirational for others and me, This is fantastic and beutiful to see once again an old memory from the past, you are really the best RUclips animator on the platform...
It's so amazing to know more about Wilson's past after all these years! great job klei, what a nice animation!!
I love how this short brings in also Maxwell’s theme and the Don’t Starve Together theme… something big is coming
Oh my god! Such a blast of nostalgia mixed with something new! It reminded me of how I felt when I first played Don't Starve and saw Wilson's house in the opening. So good! Don't Starve and DST are 2 of my favorite games ever... This animation just reminded me of that and how it felt being flung into the Constant for the first time.
I haven't consistently played Don't Starve the past decade, but I always come back to it, and it's wild to me that I have grown up with this game. I'm so happy it's still around and better than ever before. I love the devs of this game, they all seem to genuinely care about every single thing which is sadly so rare to find nowadays.
This was a lovely thing to come home to. had a bad day, so its nice to see our science-y boy back with yet another animation!!
I gotta say, I live for these shorts! I love the detailing and care put into them, like the paper texture of Wilson making him pop out visually. Props to the animation team 👏
This animation brings me so much joy seeing more my favorite character's backstory, and this also reminded me that Wilson still has that "forbidden knowledge" given to him by Maxwell. Wonder what Wilson and Wagstaff are going to get up to now?
Animations like this alone are enough to make a new player interested. Amazing work!
Love the animation! Plus it’s been a while since we’ve had a short completely revolving around Wilson…
Love how Wagstaff is a huge part of the lore now. Also best character refresh yet.
This DST video was just simply wonderful! It's nice that my favorite character Wilson got an animated of his own.
HOW DID I NOT GET A NOTIFCATION FOR THIS, WILSON MY BELOVED
1:05 WILSON JUMPSCARE!!
I love how the story of what is happening now is now carrying over to the character trailers, we both see more of them while seeing how the events of together are progressing, good stuff!
I never would have thought that Wagstaff and Wilson would have had known each other before the Constant. It make since tho. I can’t wait to see what happens as the story progresses!
words can’t describe how much I enjoy this short cartoons. i met project long ago when I was in school. I love don’t starve and klei, thank you so much for your content!❤❤❤
(sorry if I have mistakes English is not my native language)
I have goosebumps, I got back to 2013 by seeing Wilson's house, to when I used to play DS on the ps3. I love how Wagstaff entered the lore and how much he hides and, at the same time, he controls, can't wait to see where all this will go, thank you Klei!!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if the skeleton under the floorboards was meant to be a telltale heart reference
Cool animation! Thanks for a job well done, Klei. I'm on my way to download the update :)
Thank you Klei! Been anticipating Wilson’s refresh for while now, and more backstory!! Can’t wait to see what you all do next.
There's so much in this to love, it's simply magnificent.
the new boss was awesome! and the new update. your reworks and updates are getting better and better!
1:44 So I guess this is how Wilson learned how to craft the TellTale Heart
Crow vibing in the post credits is honestly my new favorite thing. We need crow lore.
I mean you already gave us some crow lore from the Wes short technically but give us more we need more-
0:02 "Yup, the rose is made of rose"
He's investigating it's relation to Charlie and Maxwell
@it’s a joke
This game has that one thing that makes you wanna keep knowing more and more about it. I love it, never get tired of it.
Why is no-one talking about how top-notch this animation is?! It is absolutely brilliant!
And understand everything?
Oh my word I got a heart! O:
The animations are amazing klei !❤
Its been only an year since I've been playing dst and damn the animation shorts are what made me go through the entire dst lore in one night and Wilson is my favorite character so I'm happy that he is now getting more attention :)
WILSON IS REAAAAAAAAAAAAAL
Ngl this animation made me so nostalgic for the days when single player Don't Stave was randomly the free game for ps+ one month and tiny 5 year old me would boss my mum around and cry if she skip that little animation in his house doing science stuff
Wilson toching the chair and the room getting dark for a sec.😧
1:40
That detail to the storyline is impressive
I would binge the heck out of an animated series based on don't starve and in this animation style. Another great update.
