The Long Dark: Tales from the Far Territory

Deep along the spine of Great Bear tracks a steep mountain range that bisects the island.

This is the Far Range, an imposing wall of rock that stands vigilant over Great Bear’s priceless resource riches.

Over the decades, many have tried, few have succeeded to crack open the wealth within these rocks. And mysteries abound. Dark stories told around campfires, about abandoned mines and remote airfields that hold many secrets.

Now, with the aurora blazing across the sky, is the Far Territory ready to surrender its stories? Will you survive long enough to wrest any truths from the rocky grasp of this old, dark territory?

TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY is the first paid expansion pass for The Long Dark’s Survival Mode. Releasing in multiple Parts over the course of a 12-month campaign, TFTFT significantly adds to the world of Great Bear Island and the game’s core Survival foundation, with new Regions, new Gameplay, and new objective-based Tales.

Specific additions coming in the Paid stream include:
Three new Regions: Airfield, Mine, Mountain Pass

Three new Tales: Narrative Challenges that reveal mysteries of the Far Territory’s strange history.

New Gameplay Systems: Glimmer Fog, Insomnia, Handheld Shortwave, Travois, Trader, Safehouse Customization, and more!

New Clothing and Food items, and Rare Tool variants.

20+ minutes of new Survival music.

...and much more.

TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY is a 12-month Expansion Pass campaign for THE LONG DARK. As such, content will be delivered in regular Parts over the course of the campaign.
