FIREWATCH ARRIVES ON FEBRUARY 9 ON PC & PS4

Circle February 9 on your calendar, gather your friends, and put your camping trips on hold: Firewatch is coming to Windows, Mac, Linux, and PlayStation 4. At the same time!

Right now we’re still polishing, optimizing, writing, and developing the last bits of the game, but we can’t wait to put it out there for you to play. Our goal is a worldwide simultaneous release!

We’ll have much more to say in the lead-up to February 9, as well as some opportunities for folks to get an early hands-on. Keep an eye on the @camposanto Twitter feed for more, and feel free to toss us questions there or in the comments right on this blog.

Awesome. Really looking forward to this one.

 

[Dr_LucienSanchez]

Nice. The first few months of 2016 are definitely looking relatively good/packed.

 

[BTA]

I was worried it was going to take even longer, so this is great news. Really looking forward to it!

 

[Blablurn]

i need it in my life

 

[Hot Coldman]

So that's Firewatch, Mirror's Edge, Deus Ex and Digimon in February. ARGH

 

[benicillin]

What is Firewatch, anyway?

Been looking forward to this forever, absolutely cannot wait. Hype is off the charts.

 

[RibMan]

Day one. The setting, artstyle, and tone of the game is fantastic.

[Spring-Loaded]

Yarse.

SPRING IS THE NEW HOLIDAY.

God, I can't wait for Firewatch. What a dream team. I've no doubt it will be genius.

 

[Jaagen]

Looking forward to this one. Looks really atmospheric(and a tad creepy)

I heard there's a ghost in it.

 

[bluexy]

Aw, man. I was looking forward to this in 2015. Another indie fearing a fall launch?

 

[Kalor]

Early February is nice since it gives me time to finish it before Deus Ex. I've been looking forward to this since the first teaser so I'm hopeful that it turns out well.

 

[Sloane]

Nice, looking forward to it!

Probably more to do with it being incomplete than fear.

 

[mp1990]

The hype is real. Day one all the way.

 

[xxracerxx]

Nice!

 

[kiguel182]

Nice to see it on PS4 day one. I'll buy it at release for sure, it's one of my most anticipated games.

 

[jelly]

It has my interest for sure.

 

[tuxfool]

The beginning of next year is so front loaded. Another one to add to the list.

 

[johnnydrama]

Been looking forward to this for quite a while. Day one for me. That art style looks gorgeous.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Fucking nice. The writing and voice acting in this game is top notch. Can't wait.

 

[Corpsepyre]

How would you describe the gameplay here? I saw a few snippets of trailers they have put out, and I can't quite make it out. Walking simulator, but story heavy and with some puzzles?

 

[Nzyme32]

Yeeeeeeesssssssss!!

I've been waiting for this for a long time and following the development blog stuff. Can't wait to get it

 

[Salty Catfish]

The puzzles seem to be in the same vein as SOMA, which is to say they probably won't be much beyond "bring X item to Y location to progress." Not that that's necessarily a bad thing in the right circumstances.

17 minutes of gameplay - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5lyHZIzW8A

Lots of talking and conversing, choosing dialogue, but also exploring, solving puzzles etc

 

[JetSetRadio]

E3 trailer looked interesting.

 

[Nzyme32]

Some favourite screenshots:

 

[Acquiescence]

Good job I'm not interested in this or February would be even more jam-packed than it already is.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

God, I cannot wait for this one. I love each of the devs on this.

 

[Grief.exe]

Game looks absolutely gorgeous, with an art style that will be complimented by down sampling.

 

[Zia]

The day after The Witness? Whoa.

 

[waitwhat42]

Man I love the art design in this game. Every screen is gorgeous. Can't wait to play it.

 

[KnownAsEpic]

[hbkajshdvfbkjhvgkahsgdfka]

The day after The Witness? Whoa.

Two weeks, unless The Witness isn't coming out on January 26th anymore.

 

[QuantumBro]

Is the whole game being released at once or is it episodic?

The day after The Witness? Whoa.

Witness is late January.

 

[Hot Coldman]

The day after The Witness? Whoa.

It's like 2 weeks after, Witness is January. But yes, holy shit, these games coming out so close together is bliss.

 

[shinobi602]

So excited for this one.

 

[Jake]

The day after The Witness? Whoa.

The Witness is January 26th so it's two weeks after The Witness!

 

[jon bones]

day 1 for the GAF homie

 

[IvanJ]

Looks very interesting, falling in love with these games more and more. Will be getting it next year for sure.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

The Witness is January 26th so it's two weeks after The Witness!

And Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth is right in between.

OT: Yay! We finally have a release date!

 

[TP-DK]

Day one. That e3 trailer got me hooked.

 

[Loudninja]

Man glad UC4 comes out in March.

Feb is pretty packed with all types of interesting games.

 

[Shredderi]

Seems really good so I'll be sure to pick it up.

 

[JetSetRadio]

It's like 2 weeks after, Witness is January. But yes, holy shit, these games coming out so close together is bliss.

But where is Rime?

 

[fuzzyreactor]

But where is Rime?

But really where is Wild

 

[thenexus6]

Been looking forward to this for years now it seems. I wonder if they'll mention it on the next Idle Thumbs.
