Welcome to Cauldron Island. Announcing THE LONG DARK: IRON ROAD!
“Welcome to Cauldron Island. Lost to history, hiding a mystery. Restore and activate a century-old train to journey deep along the caldera’s spine and uncover a dark secret. What you discover in the end will change how you survive in this Aurora-changed world, forever.”
Dear players,
Today, we’re excited to announce a new Survival Expansion for THE LONG DARK. It’s called IRON ROAD, and it brings a whole new island, a host of new gameplay features and content to the game, and, most importantly, brings a Train into the sandbox.
A train!
We had so much fun building the train in Episode Five, and you had so much fun playing with it, that we decided to create an entire DLC built around train gameplay, along with a mysterious new island (!), and over 100kms of railway to explore and survive in search of answers to a mystery from the past.
Our intention with IRON ROAD was to create another experience along the lines of TALES FROM THE FAR TERRITORY, released in large parts over time. But after speaking with Valve about the best way to present IRON ROAD to you, we’ve decided to release it as Early Access DLC for THE LONG DARK and SURVIVAL MODE. For more information about our plans for Early Access, please refer to the Roadmap and other information on .
