If you don't know the monster, count yourself lucky. Hinterland's post mentions that this update will mark the return of Fluffy. I have played my fair share of The Long Dark and can assure you this means a lot of trekking through the snow, sometimes at night, eating cold dog food out of a can.Ī new explorable zone does sound grand but let me tell you about an even more important re-addition. Opening up the entire area to explore will apparently involve entering the map from various directions, presumably connected by the game's other areas. "This will be our first region to feature a two-part environmental puzzle of sorts," Hinterland' say. The Long Dark's Survival Mode was the whole game before Hinterland began releasing story episodes, with only a couple distinct explorable zones in the sandbox at first. Most would call the addition of a new region objectively most important. Hinterland announced in a blog post last week that The Long Dark's next Survival Mode update will come with a good chunk of changes in mid-December.
Nothing says holiday cheer like building a fire of twigs in a survival game to avoid dying of exposure so I'm glad I've been given a reason to boot up The Long Dark again this season with the upcoming update called Errant Pilgrim. As usual, it's boring and bleak out there and I look to games like The Long Dark to escape the drabness of my actual surroundings. The time of year has arrived where I continually look out my window hoping for a permanent blanket of snow the way holiday movies always promised me there would be.
