The third episode of snowy survival sandbox The Long Dark‘s story campaign is due to launch in December, developers Hinterland Studio announced last night, alongside revamped versions of its first two. Hinterland are making the opening chapters less linear, see, to reflect the planned structure of episode 3 – and address some criticism. Our episode 2 review in particular took issue with the linear quest structure forced on sandbox survival, which still felt needlessly like a tutorial – and often an irritating tutorial. So roll on December, bring the snow and the howl, make this whole game deep and crisp and even.
