The Long Dark’s story mode launch trailer is haunting and chilly

Hinterland Studio’s Early Access survival romp, The Long Dark, formally launches on August 1, and to get us able to wrestle by way of the Canadian Wilderness, the builders have unveiled the launch trailer for the sport’s episodic story mode, the primary season of which is known as Wintermute.

Take a gander on the best survival games on PC.

Unlike the sandbox survival mode, Wintermute has a story operating by way of it, pitting pilot Will Mackenzie, and Dr. Astrid Greenwood in opposition to nature within the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster – the rationale all the ability has gone out and Canada has gone darkish. Despite the title, it has nothing to do with William Gibson’s genre-defining Neuromancer. 

The Long Dark will launch with the primary two episodes of season one, whereas the opposite three will arrive later this 12 months and into 2018. Everyone who has purchased the sport will get entry to the complete season, in addition to the survival mode. 

I’m wanting ahead to leaping again into the sport. Like lots of Early Access titles, I performed a bunch at launch, however bounced off it whereas I waited for the complete launch. It’s a hanging recreation, that includes a harsh however undeniably lovely world elevated by its assured aesthetic. And I can’t assist however recognize the purity of its survival conceit – you gained’t discover any dinos or dongs right here. 

The Long Dark launches on Steam on August 1 for £26.99/$34.99.
