First of a series of paid updates over a year, but more free stuff is coming too
Frosty survival gameThe Long Darkis releasing the first part of its paid expansion, Tales From The Far Territory, in December. The expansion is part of devsHinterlandStudio’s efforts to make further improvements to the game’s Survival Mode, and will be split into multiple releases over twelve months. I’m getting aStranger Thingsseason four vibe from what’s been shown so far. You can see for yourself by watching the short, and quite dark, teaser trailer below.
It’s been quite a while since we last heard anything about The Long Dark’s paid expansion, firstannouncedback in spring. Now called Tales From The Far Territory, it’ll take you to some big-ass mountains on the game’s Great Bear Island. These peaks are known as the Far Range, “an imposing wall of rock that stands vigilant over Great Bear’s priceless resource riches”, according to Hinterland.
“Over the decades, many have tried, few have succeeded to crack open the wealth within these rocks,” Hinterland’s founder Raphael van Lierop said in a newdev diary. “And mysteries abound. Dark stories told around campfires, about abandoned mines and remote airfields that hold many secrets.” Forsaken Airfield is the first of three new regions coming with the expansion pass, all splitting off from a hub region.
The Long Dark: Tales From The Far Territory heads toSteamand the Epic Games Store in December for £18/$20/€20. The base game is available onSteam,Epic Games StoreandMicrosoft Storefor £28/$35/€30.
