Will You Survive WINTERS EMBRACE?

Hello players, Were excited to share our new month-long event in The Long Dark. Running from 10am Pacific on Monday June 29th, and lasting until July 31st at 10am PST, WINTERS EMBRACE makes the harsh Winter environment of Great Bear Island even harsher, with:

Average world temperature is reduced by 10 degrees Celsius
Interior temperatures are reduced by 10 degrees Celsius
More frequent, and longer-lasting Blizzards

And since Canada Day occurs during this Event (on July 1st) were also adding two new Canadian-themed Food items:

Maple Syrup
Ketchup Chips

To celebrate your time in WINTERS EMBRACE, well unlock two badges for you if you accomplish the following tasks:

Canadian Feast: Find and consume 25 bottles of Maple Syrup and 25 bags of Ketchup Chips across multiple saves while WINTERS EMBRACE is active.
Winter in July: Survive 25 consecutive days across a single WINTERs EMBRACE save, while the event is active.

Please note that you dont have to accomplish both these tasks in the same game! As another nod to Canada Day, were also adding a Heritage Filter mode, inspired by old National Film Board TV and film content we grew up with in the 1970s and 1980s. This mode adds an old-school TV filter to the game world (but it does not affect the in-game user interface). And for film buffs out there, weve also added a Noir mode, which lets you experience The Long Dark or WINTERMUTE in a classic monochromatic filter. Both Filters can be applied from the Display settings.

Maple Syrup, Ketchup Chips, and the new view filters (Heritage & Noir) will persist in the game after WINTERS EMBRACE ends, but you wont be able to get the badges after July 31st at 10am PST, so we hope youll jump into the event and test your survival skills in the coldest The Long Dark has ever been! To join the event, make sure you have updated the game to the latest version, and select the WINTERS EMBRACE item from the Main Menu. If you run into any issues, please contact us at thelongdark.com/support.

We hope you enjoy WINTERS EMBRACE, and please feel free to share your survival stories with us in the Official Community, or on social media using the tags #thelongdark and #wintersembrace. The Hinterland Team THE LONG DARK v1.79 (63945) CHANGELIST
