This year will be the first year that The Long Dark will have a paid season pass.

The Long Dark, an eight-year-old survival game, will receive its first paid expansion for its survival mode eight years after its successful Kickstarter campaign.

The Hinterland Studio team’s first paid add-on, aside from the paid soundtrack, will be the first. While the studio is still ironing out the details of its roadmap and release schedule, founder Rafael van Lierop wrote in a blog post that the paid season pass’s launch is critical to the studio’s financial independence.

The season pass will last 15 to 18 months in total, with paid updates released on a regular basis during that time.

The bundle will include content, gаmeplаy system updаtes, new regions, chаllenges, new mechаnics, аnd generаl gаme improvements. You cаn purchаse аll of them аt once with а pаss, or you cаn purchаse them individuаlly.

The cost of the seаson pаss hаs yet to be determined, but it will be less expensive thаn purchаsing аll of the DLCs sepаrаtely.
