The Red Lantern will launch for Xbox One, Switch, and PC via the Epic Games Store this fall, developer Timberline Studio announced.
“Much like our Musher’s journey, this year hasn’t gone exactly according to plan, but we adapted and have been working from our homes to finish The Red Lantern,” said Timberline Studio co-founder Lindsey Rostal in a press release. “We’re excited that we’re so close to finally getting to share it with everyone. We hope you enjoy the trip out into the wild.”
Here is an overview of the game, via Timberline Studio:
About
The Red Lantern is a resource management narrative game where you and your team of five sled dogs must survive the wilderness and find your way home. Set in Nome, Alaska, you play as The Musher, voiced by Ashly Burch (Horizon Zero Dawn, Life is Strange), as she sets out to train for the grueling Iditarod race.
The game combines roguelite elements into this story-driven adventure game, where hundreds of different events can occur—like fending off bears, resisting frostbite, attending your dogs, or avoiding the most nefarious of woodland creatures: the squirrel.
