‘Firewatch’ Is Coming To Xbox One, With New Modes In Tow!
Briefly: Back in February, a gem of an independent title called Firewatch hit PS4 and PC.
The game boasted some of the most gorgeous graphics I’d ever seen, an intense, mysterious narrative that I could not stop thinking about, and as you can probably guess from the previous few sentences of this article, I absolutely fell in love with it.
You can read my full review of the game here, and if you haven’t played the game just yet, I’d seriously implore you to do so. I’m happy to say today however, that millions of gamers who have never had an opportunity to experience Firewatch soon will, as Campo Santo has revealed that the game will make the jump to Xbox One later this month.
It won’t just be a straight port either! The Xbox One version of the game will come equipped with two new modes (which will, naturally make it to the PS4 and PC versions of the game as well): Firewatch Audio Tour, which is still mysterious, but is being described as one part scavenger hunt, one part museum tour, and one part game dev workshop, mixed with a dash of inside Campo Santo goofs. The game will also come complete with a free-roam mode, where you’ll be able to live in the Shoshone with a full day/night cycle and explore with a few hidden secrets.
I’m about due for a replay of Firewatch, and you better believe that I’m excited to check out these new modes. Firewatch hits Xbox One on September 21st.
