But today is about Mackenzie, a prison in the mountains, and a tough journey that will push him - and you - to your limits as a survivor. In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing more information about our plans for the future of Survival Mode, next-gen enhancements, mod support, and other things we’re doing at Hinterland. We have set the table for Episode Five, and now we turn our attention to bringing it to a close.

We give you the fourth episode of our survival odyssey, and we come one step closer to the final part of our story. Art doesn’t exist in a vacuum, so maybe you will feel some of those influences as you go through and experience Blackrock for yourselves. The experience of making it, and of playing it, will always be coloured by this time.

The parallels between our isolation and fears of the outside world and Mackenzie’s experience in the episode were not lost on us.įor us, Episode Four will always be the pandemic episode. And all the while, we pushed forward to tell the story of Mackenzie and Astrid, the quiet apocalypse, the wintery wilderness of Great Bear, and the mysterious aurora in the sky, all to the best of our ability. Within our small team, we’ve experienced the highs of births and new life, and the deep lows of losing people we love. All the while, the team has banded together to support each other during the ups and downs. Now we get to see what happens to our everyman bush pilot as he tangles with some very unpleasant people in a prison complex at the end of the world.ĭeveloping the majority of this episode during a global pandemic has been a challenging experience to say the least. You may remember that meeting didn’t end well for Mackenzie. “Fury, Then Silence” continues Mackenzie’s story after his ill-fated meeting with the convict Mathis in Carter Dam. After two years of development, we are finally launching Episode Four of our WINTERMUTE story mode for The Long Dark. This is a changelog for full-release versions of The Long Dark.įor the early access changelog, see The Long Dark/Early Access Changelog.
