Hinterland, the developer behind snowy survival game The Long Dark, has teased an ‘unannounced survival game’ currently in development at the studio, and the accompanying alpha footage certainly has the hallmarks of a potential The Long Dark 2.
Hinterland boss Raphael van Lierop (who confirmed he was stepping away from The Long Dark to start a new project at the studio back in 2022) shared the 22 seconds of “in-engine pre-alpha” footage on social media today, along with the caption, “Some good things happening in the Unannounced Survival Games space…”.
The video itself is little more than a slow pan across a slightly ramshackle room – but a closer look might just offer some big clues as to the nature of Hinterland’s new project. A running tally of “days” scrawled on the mirror and the general makeshift dilapidation of the room certainly suggest some kind of disaster has befallen the world outside, while the two roaring fires and the howling wind absolutely bring The Long Dark’s big freeze to mind.
