A lot of people were extremely excited about the prospect of a compelling survival adventure set in the frozen wildlands (including us), but at launch, The Long Dark failed to deliver on its huge promise. That said, developer Hinterland Games has resolved to put the game's disappointing release behind them and are looking to turn things around with continued support and iteration.
So far the studio's positive attitude and hard work have been appreciated, and chief among its efforts is the release of an episodic adventure called Wintermute, and the third episode of this series - Crossroads Elegy - is out now on PC (Steam), PS4, and Xbox One.
The third of five planned episodes puts players in the winter boots of Dr. Astrid Greenwood, who must explore the not-so-aptly named Pleasant Valley, investigate some local mysteries, rescue those in need and survive all manner of dangers as you search for Mackenzie and your path forward.
A new trailer landed for Crossroads Elegy and you can check that out below. If you like the look of it, the episodic content is all included in the base game, and both future episodes from Season One are also included in that initial purchase.
