Happy to see Hinterland's Presentation Director, Jess Butler, as a speaker at this year's Game UX Summit in Antwerp, Belgium!

Finally hit 1,500 hours in "The Long Dark." Definitely one of the best games that I have played. @raphlife.bsky.social @hinterland.bsky.social @thelongdark.bsky.social

Sum up an entire game on one screenshot.

Attention! THE LONG DARK and associated products are currently discounted during the Steam Summer Sale. Get the core game or the TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY DLC for a really good price!

Fixed!

PSA for TLD players! You might have noticed after this week's Xbox update the planks allowing you to cross the bridge between Broken Railroad Region and the Far Territory appear to be missing! They are, in fact, still there, but invisible. 🫥 The team will hotfix this ASAP, within the next 24 hours.

Text says: One of the fundamental tenets that lies at the heart of THE LONG DARK is that nature is the great leveller. We’re all equal in the eyes of the cold and the snow and the desperate rush to shelter as the blizzard howls behind us. It’s a game but it’s more than a game. We think most of you feel that, like we feel it. Unlike in THE LONG DARK, in the real world not everyone around us, in our communities, in our workplaces, in our industries, is treated equally. Many are discriminated against due to race, faith, gender identity, sexual orientation. This is even more true in 2025 than it has been in recent years. The world is becoming a more hostile, intolerant place. We must strive to do better. It doesn’t take anything away from you to open your heart, your mind, to people who are different than you. We embrace diversity and are doing our part to create a safe and inclusive workspace for all members of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We hope that each of you, like the team at Hinterland who create THE LONG DARK and are creating BLACKFROST, can appreciate the value of diversity, and can see that it takes people of all kinds to enrich this world we all live in. Diversity is key to strength and resilience! Please do what you can to help celebrate it. Support your local Pride groups, and together we can create a safer, more inclusive community that enriches us all.

Celebrating Pride!

That said, your existing Switch 1 copy of #thelongdark should also work on Switch 2, due to backwards compatibility. So no need to buy it again!

(Currently there are no Switch 2- specific features implemented, however we aren't sure if or when we will get to those.)

Hello! For some platforms, we can only be on sale when we are invited to do so. This means that different platforms or even stores on those platforms may have sales at different times.
