At The Game Awards 2024, the Hinterland team announced BLACKFROST: The Long Dark 2. This is a sequel to the famous survival game The Long Dark 2. The game tells the story of life in an industrial city called Harmont. A year has passed since the aurora broke out and all innovative technologies became useless. People had to learn to survive, like in the good old days.
You have a choice: either join the NPCs and survive with them, or learn to cope with difficulties on your own. Moreover, now you can play this game with friends, as it will support online co-op. The trick of the BLACKFROST game is the emphasis on the mental state of the protagonist. You will need to learn to overcome your fears and worries, enjoy the little things.
The game immerses you in the icy world of the post-apocalypse, creating an extraordinary atmosphere of loneliness and community at the same time. The studio also mentioned the appearance of the so-called “permanent life”. If you die, you will continue your journey, but you will acquire a fear that you will have to fight. The traditional mode with permanent death is not forgotten either. BLACKFROST: The Long Dark 2 will appear on Steam in 2026.
