the long dark

The Long Dark is getting an event, “Winter’s Embrace,” today through July 31. It features extra cold temperatures, “Canadian-themed food items,” two badges you can earn, and some filters that change the way the game looks.

The Long Dark’s latest update, “Fearless Navigator,” adds different markers you can place in the world with in-game paint cans, vistas that let you map greater portions of an area, and rock caches where you can store supplies. It’s a lot of interesting changes to how the game’s navigation works, without taking away…

The Long Dark’s “Errant Pilgrim” update is live, adding a new sandbox region with timberwolves (oh no!), the ability to craft ammo and repair ruined firearms, and a new challenge. There’s also new music and new feats.

The Long Dark’s third story episode, “Crossroads Elegy,” will release October 22. The announcement coincides with the five-year anniversary of the game’s early access release, which the developers reflect on in a blog post.

Snowy survival game The Long Dark’s latest update, “Steadfast Ranger,” adds a new weapon, the revolver; causes cold and fatigue to affect your aim with the rifle; and changes the sprain mechanic, among a host of other neat-sounding tweaks. Watch the video above or see the change list here.

The Long Dark’s story mode overhaul, Wintermute Redux, is now available. Changes have also been made to survival mode, including the addition of a new craftable item, a new buff, and a new challenge.

The Long Dark’s third episode has been delayed, Hinterland Studios wrote in their November dev diary. However, the overhauled versions of Episodes 1 and 2 and tweaks to Survival mode will arrive in December.

The Long Dark is an excellent sandbox survival game, but its promised story mode has been a long time coming. The first two of five episodes will finally be out in August, and here’s a trailer for them.

The first two episodes of The Long Dark’s story mode, Season One: Wintermute, will launch August 1st. The game will also come out of Early Access that day for Steam, Xbox One, and—surprise!—PS4.

The Long Dark just received its biggest update of the year, “Resolute Outfitter.” It adds new clothing items and clothing stats, as well as the ability to visualize what your character is wearing. There’s also a new region, frostbite, and more.

Here's a new gameplay demo of The Long Dark, a chilly post-apocalyptic survival game that's currently on Kickstarter. The game, which will be released episodically on PC, is being made by a collection of talented developers. It sounds (and now, looks) pretty interesting.
