The Long Dark-- Episode Four: Fury, After That Silence is Available Currently

We re past enjoyed share the most recent installation of The Long Dark s Wintermute story setting with Xbox players today. This is simply one more milestone in a background of close collaboration between Hinterland as well as Xbox, going back to the launch of The Long Dark s Xbox Game Preview in 2015.

At that time, The Long Dark had actually already been a success on computer, however we had no certain plans to bring the video game to console yet. That transformed throughout a call late in 2014 with the team at [email shielded], when they shared their strategies to provide a very early access kind program, a first for consoles. They asked if we wanted to aid release this, and we entered, figured out to be amongst the initial games to be readily available in this manner on console. And also so with some significant hustle, in 26 days we went from having no Xbox build (in all), to running well on the platform as well as with certification, ready to introduce.

This work culminated with us being available as one of the very first 2 launch titles for Xbox Game Preview at E3 2015! It was a big minute for our small workshop, having actually a game mentioned in the Microsoft Media Event as well as demoing on the show floor along with substantial first-party leviathans like Halo and Gears of Battle , as well as releasing the first day of E3.

Being on Video game Preview sealed The Long Dark s put on Xbox, and it helped us construct an area of players that are still with us to today. And this team has just expanded since we brought The Long Dark to Xbox Game Pass back in 2020. A few of our most passionate gamers get on Xbox.

Today we re thrilled to share Episode Four: Fury, Then Silence . It proceeds the tale of bush pilot Will Mackenzie, in his look for Dr. Astrid Greenwood among the cold, harmful wilds of Great Bear island in Canada s deep north. A mysterious aurora in the skies seems to be conflicting with anything electric, and consequently Mackenzie, Astrid, and also everybody they satisfy is having a hard time to make it through the harsh winter months as well as brutal wildlife, all without the human-made conveniences most of us consider provided. Episode 4 ups the stake by introducing a band of bloodthirsty convicts, excited to leave their mark on Great Bear and also exploit these brand-new scenarios. Will Mackenzie endure this new threat, to proceed his search for Astrid?

We call our setting the Peaceful Armageddon. It s not the common end-of-the-world scenario with zombies, or aliens, or mythological monsters. Just mankind encountering our over-reliance on modern technology as well as the loss of abilities and also community that leave us susceptible when we find society switched on its head. Nature is in cost, and she is neutral to your existence. This is a motif that, although we started discovering it years earlier, has ended up being all of a sudden appropriate during the past 18+ months of COVID lockdown. Our greatest delight comes from listening to that players experience a feeling of relief as well as thoughtful escapism into the quiet wild of The Long Dark . This is why we make things we make-- to touch gamers deeply.

With Episode 4 introducing today, we turn our thoughts to Episode Five and the final thought of our Wintermute tale mode, as well as recurring plans to sustain Survival Setting in our mission to produce the best survival game on the planet. Thanks to the Xbox gamer neighborhood for several years of support in the process-- all the comments you have actually shared, regularly you informed your good friends to look into the video game, as well as all the little methods in which you enhance The Long Dark s area. We are forever grateful.

The years behind us are absolutely nothing compared to the years ahead. Appreciate Episode 4, and we ll see you in the Quiet Armageddon.
