Prepare to fail at survival, as Don't Starve Together is officially being released this month on the 21st of April. Great game, do try it out.
It's an impressive game, and Don't Starve Together has been in Early Access for quite some time. They integrated two expansions from the single-player Don't Starve too. It seems it won't be getting the latest expansion to Don't Starve any time soon though:
QuoteWe don’t have any concrete plans right now. Shipwrecked was built without DST in mind, and we’re going to need to evaluate how much is needed if we were going to do this. We would all love to go sailing with our friends!
They are also planning a free update to Don't Starve Together called "Through the Ages". The main thing it will do is make the game stay interesting over time, as you're likely to be playing for longer since it's multiplayer. They said at launch there will be a small element of that work included:
Quotethe first step of it is coming to you at Launch: we’re putting in small variations to the basic biomes so that every generation feels a bit different, and these will transition over time as you play through the seasons.

It supports online and LAN multiplayer with steam integration. It also has offline mode which, obviously, only gives you access to LAN multiplayer.

You don't need to use LAN. You can use WAN all the same, if the server component is part of the game and allows running it in server mode.

I didn't find anything conclusive, but I did find this if it helps:

I do hope it has local co-op and LAN, I am much more likely to use those options..
Side thought, I know nothing about the Steam API, but I wonder if it could have a LAN-only fall back built in (or how hard that would really be).
Please don't generalize to such a degree. I live in an area with rotten Internet access. LAN is the only way for me to play any non-local multi-player game.
