Developer Hinterland has announced its much-loved snowy survival hit The Long Dark will, all being well, get the long-awaited fifth instalment of its paid Tales from the Far Territory expansion in the "second half of June", adding, among other things, a cougar to pursue players all over the map and a way to cheat death in permadeath mode. "This is the first change to our permadeath system that we’ve ever made in the game," says Hinterland, "and we hope it brings a new dimension to gameplay for those of our players who just aren’t ready to lose their favourite survivor, or those who just want something fresh." The studio says it's also hoping to have Tales from the Far Territory out on Switch - minus the upcoming Part 5 - "by the second half of June" following delays caused by "memory and optimisation" issues.
