With Episode Four development coming to a close, Episode Five is being written. The team is committed to shipping the episode as part of the game purchase, a promise it made back when Hinterland did the Kickstarter in 2013.
To that end, the studio is interested in what players would like beyond Episode Five and has posted a survey so you can share your thoughts and allow the team to take them into consideration as it plans for the future.
While Hinterland is not committing to anything beyond Episode Five, depending on how “passionately” players want the team to keep expanding The Long Dark, and providing it can make it work from a business perspective, the studio is “open to considering a variety of things.”
