So excited! Did you notice in the scene with the horse, that when they opened the garage door, the candles blew out...? What an amazing touch that is. I love that candles, and woodcutters' two-handed axes, and rifle scopes, horses, and horse-travois have all been added...... Same world as TLD classic, but different.
Yes! I have gone through a few times now picking things out. I'm so excited as well- because like you said it feels the same but also it is a different side of what we have seen so far. That is going to be amazing to explore.
I am hopeful but also concerned about the multiplayer aspect. There is a right way and a wrong way to do it. If u play with just two or three other people, it would be fun but allow too many players to play together and suddenly The Long Dark no longer has that feeling of isolation and loneliness. U can still have that feeling and atmosphere with a small number of players. But too many, u start getting players developing different factions to attack each other for resources. Then Long Dark just becomes another multiplayer shooter. There r already too many of those. I would much rather play with 2 or 3 other people as we team up to try and survive against nature and keep that isolation atmosphere.
Watching this for the (lots) time. I so admire how Hinterland are true to their player base. Blackfrost looks absolutely beautiful. The level of detail is amazing. We are being given all these clues, the artwork is stunning, every little thing is intentional. I love it.
Defiantly, there is so much there for a minute and a half trailer. After this I watched it so many times just to pick out all of the little things. Plus, appreciate it more.
Honestly, I’m really looking forward to this! It makes me think though, with the introduction of so many new people and especially the last quote “Live together. Die alone”, it makes me wonder if this is going to be possibly a multiplayer or at least co-op experience of some sort!
Graphics look the same yet better. Very nice! I am all in on a horse for faster travels. I'm not sure about online multi-player. If it is a co op I down but PvP is not a thing I would be looking for. I like the originals slow pace. A hectic gun fight and dying after just finding a sweet wool sweater would suck ice.😂
Blackfrost is literally radioactive snowfall. It's a play on the words black rain which is a real thing. So I guess Blackfrost is a technical real thing too.
I didn't know I was going to have a new obsession, but Hinterland had other plans. If I can run solo TLD runs in a MMO world I am going to be soooooo happy. My solitude is more enjoyable when it isn't alone.
I honestly can’t wait to explore more urban environments through this game. The long dark had towns and stuff to explore, yes, but exploring what looks to be a city within this apocalypse just has always had so much appeal. Especially if we get to see the city light up during an aurora.
It really does, I know people have been asking about more populated maps for a while. So, I'm excited to experience the world of The Long Dark in a different setting.
Your reaction was very similar to mine 😂. I need to try to get this out of my head or I’m not going to be able to play the one we got. Definitely going to be purchasing early access if I can, very excited.
This is so exciting! It feels like the same events from the aurora happened but it's in a larger city this time. So cool. Maybe this is the mainland instead of Great Bear Island?
I'm going to be out of town with limited internet I will try to join your stream definitely looking forward to hears everyone's thoughts and opinions and hopes for the game
@jitwire Yeah, It's so exciting. I rarely get excited for games. This game feels like a bit of the walking dead/ Far cry atmosphere with a realistic tone. The multiplayer aspect is going to be amazing, and now all this loot can be potentially traded and imagine an open world experience that still has an isolation aspect to it at times would be amazing or tag along with a buddy. Lol kinda funny because this week, I was wondering if I could make the long dark 2 n. I guess my thoughts came into reality 😅
Yeah, I can second feeling the Last of Us vibes. I will be curious to see if that continues. I know this is very early phases. So, things can change drastically between now and early access.
Honestly, I’m hoping this game has three different modes to play. Solo would be great and it seems they are hinting at Co-op, but what I would absolutely love would be if they have a game mode similar to Rust in which multiple players spawn into the world at once, building bases, creating factions, etc. and to “reset” the server a blizzard comes in that eventually kill every player.
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Does the horse have needs too? It's interesting to ponder. And horses can live on Hay- but I don't even know how you grow the grass for that with it being so cold.
I don't necessarily think we can obtain what the game will look like from this trailer. This is an animated trailer, usually these trailers don't reflect the game at all. I hope it does look like this, it's so gorgeous.
@@jitwire I think we should all start sending ideas in to hinterland. I would like another layer to upgrade everything, rifle scope, casting better tools, using more animal parts. Rare items, polar bear skin, military webbing for extra carry, repairable bows. I'm too geeky with TLD.
It's a cinematic trailer, that doesn't mean it's fake or that the game will look completely different. It's made in-engine. That means everything in the trailer can be in the game. Furthermore, all the screenshots (including first-person gameplay screenshots) on the steam page reflect this artstyle and look. This is also similar to the artstyle used in the first game. Nobody should be concerned about this.
Wow that art does look gorgeous! That it looks multiplayer makes me sad. I'm just thinking about all the stuff I'll miss not having anyone else to play with.
I remember the very initial advertising of the Long Dark before I bought it - for quite a while I was worried that bears would sneak up behind you while you were stalking something just like in the video and also harvesting carcasses would leave bones left behind over time - neither of the those two things eventuated in the game even many years later...so I wouldn't take too serious what they put in videos of their game - not from my experience anyway...those initial deceptions made me sceptical of them since then... they probably have like 80% of what they claim to do...
1 am... xD I will talk to Kirk about it if we do another one. I don't want people to be excluded. We were really thinking first one would just be a test of concept. Then this trailer dropped.
Wow. I just wander how Multiplayer will be done. As this game has a great potential for PvP, I'm really against it. I would like it to be optionala cooperative, so I can set a game with friends, or alone, or in one massive multiplayer server, but without fighting between players experience. I think TLD players mostly are not the ones who like fast, dynamic pace of games :X At least, I don't like fast action ;)
Yeah, I don't think most TLD people are looking for PVP and I have faith that they know their community well enough to realize that. So, I'm not too worried about it being PVP based.
@@jitwire the one scene where the guy is behind a building and another is behind a car lighting a flare while 2 more walk up makes me wonder if there will be a PVP aspect...if I don't get to join your stream maybe a note to bring up during it
@@KeRacks203 that is very possible as well...I'm more of a TLD watcher but I play Ark Survival Evolved/Ascended and Ark 2 4 Game Awards ago hinted at NPC Characters that are Not dinosaurs so also could be a thing...just trying to keep an open mind for both sides PVP or enemy human NPC
It's not in 3rd person. All the screenshots of gameplay on the steam page are in first-person. I'm not sure why so many people think having a camera pan over everything means the game is going to be 3rd person, or even a topdown strategy game. That's such a bizarre notion.
You know you could've watched without pausing then rewatched it again and analyzed it instead of literally pausing every single frame, I don't get it how can you enjoy the trailer this way.
Believe me, I wanted to do that so badly and watched it like ten times after this. I assume we will get another one and I will probably use the way you mentioned next time.

The updated art style is so gorgeous. It seriously looks like concept art in motion.
It really, really is. I hope they keep it like that.
I KNOWWW it looks like an evolution of the watercolour artstyle in every way! in tld the rocks are just blobs, the rocks in this look FANTASTIC
We need Zach snacks and jitwire jerky in darkfrost
LOL thank you.
I hope there will also remain a solo survival mode like in the 1st one
Eu acho que vai ter o co-op e solo mas vai ter npcs outros sobreviventes e eu espero que eles não sejam npcs burros que só querem te matar, algo mais interessante de realmente formar alianças ou até um sistema de reputação seria legal, se vc for um sobrevivente babaca que rouba e mata eles te tratam de um jeito se vc for conhecido por ajudar e salvar pessoas eles te tratam de outro jeito
Yes, steam says single player and multi-player. :)
@@jitwire great I was semi-worried for a moment. Really excited 🥹
I hope that they don't be forced by Sweet Baby woke agenda, after all they are a Canada game company.
"I am glad they brought back the peaches, so it feels more connected," Will McKenzie holding the peaches "What about me?"
LOL, I wasn't sure if that was Will or just someone that looked like him. So, didn't want to speculate on that too much.
I don't think it's Will. They look similar at first glance, but they look quite different when you compare them.
So excited! Did you notice in the scene with the horse, that when they opened the garage door, the candles blew out...? What an amazing touch that is. I love that candles, and woodcutters' two-handed axes, and rifle scopes, horses, and horse-travois have all been added...... Same world as TLD classic, but different.

Wow, so exciting.
It really is. I am so excited!
I like how they basically confirmed it was co op/online multiplayer with all of the other survivors
Yeah, that was cool. I will be interested to see how it all functions as more info comes out.
I am hopeful but also concerned about the multiplayer aspect. There is a right way and a wrong way to do it.

@@jamesmccraw3486on steam it says coop so that problably means it's 4 players or less so thats good
Although I doubt TLD2 won't have co op or multilayer, couldn't all those other survivors just be NPC'S or did I miss something?
@@marlinaruf9096 yeah could be but on steam it says coop so that's problably enough proof

Yeah, I am not a fan of PVP either. So, really hoping the multiplayer is co-op.
Well, it seems that Blackfrost will be an instant classic. I loved the urban apocalypse survival theme...
@@shiranduarte I sure hope so. It looks so intriguing.
I'm VERY excited about this game!
Same here. I am so stoked! Just need to wait until 2026.
Me too. I already wishlisted it on Steam. I probably will buy it on console as well just like the first game.
Blackfrost is literally radioactive snowfall. It's a play on the words black rain which is a real thing. So I guess Blackfrost is a technical real thing too.
Oh, that is really cool to know. Thank you so much.
I haven’t been this excited by a trailer since the first Skyrim trailer 14 years ago.
I know! I am just blown away and it was such a huge surprise!
I haven’t been excited for a game in years. But this trailer looks stunning. I am looking forward to the world with more people.
Same here! I am so excited over it. It is going to be a long year waiting for early access.
This looks breathtaking.
And finally a co-op mode!
It does look really incredible. I'm sure stuff will be changed and refined. But as long as they keep going in this direction I will be very happy.
The art style is spot-on again. So beautiful.
Agreed. I love it. Even though I do think some things are concept art and will be cleaned up.
I am so ready for this. I cannot believe how good this looks.
It does, doesn't it? It looks amazing.
@@jitwire We finally will be able to play it as multiplayer as well. I got your back if you got mine. Xmas came early.
@shandorunia Defiently! I'm really looking forward to that. And it really did. Even if we need to wait until next year for the present lol
I didn't know I was going to have a new obsession, but Hinterland had other plans. If I can run solo TLD runs in a MMO world I am going to be soooooo happy. My solitude is more enjoyable when it isn't alone.
Right? I was barely over the part six obsession. Now, I have another one. lol
Thx for making this so I could slowly take in what we got shown, the trailer just left me 😮
You're welcome- and same. I couldn't believe it was real for a little while. lol
I honestly can’t wait to explore more urban environments through this game. The long dark had towns and stuff to explore, yes, but exploring what looks to be a city within this apocalypse just has always had so much appeal. Especially if we get to see the city light up during an aurora.
It really does, I know people have been asking about more populated maps for a while. So, I'm excited to experience the world of The Long Dark in a different setting.
The towns in TLD are very small. They're more like villages than towns. This looks like a true town
the guy that was sneaking up on the dudes with the flares had a scope on the gun
I saw that in my second watch through! Was too busy just being excited. lol. But, I am all about scopes on the rifles.
I couldn't believe it when I saw it! So hyped for this. It looks and sounds amazing.
I know! It looks so good. I'm hyped as well.
Your reaction was very similar to mine 😂. I need to try to get this out of my head or I’m not going to be able to play the one we got. Definitely going to be purchasing early access if I can, very excited.
@@MrRickstopher Haha, thanks! I defiently need to get it all out of my system. So, I can go back to TLD 1.
This is so exciting! It feels like the same events from the aurora happened but it's in a larger city this time. So cool. Maybe this is the mainland instead of Great Bear Island?
I think it is the mainland as well. I think we have seen most of Great Bear outside of Perseverance Mills.
I think the trees are definitely placeholder billboards because they are straight up 2D but up close they are 3D
Yeah, I agreed with that. I was just too excited in my watch through. xD
I'm not sure but having horses says to me that the world is huge in this game (much bigger than the first one)
Yeah, I would assume the work is much, much larger.
I'm going to be out of town with limited internet I will try to join your stream definitely looking forward to hears everyone's thoughts and opinions and hopes for the game
Thank you, I hope you can join. We would love to have you there.
I agree if this is what it looks like in game 🔥😭
@@KeRacks203 I know. It is just too beautiful.
Cant wait!!!
I can't either!
This is just amazing! You sound what I was thinking 😂
LOL Thanks. I was so excited. It was hard to pause and try to articulate complex thoughts xD
@jitwire Yeah, It's so exciting. I rarely get excited for games. This game feels like a bit of the walking dead/ Far cry atmosphere with a realistic tone.

Lol kinda funny because this week, I was wondering if I could make the long dark 2 n. I guess my thoughts came into reality 😅
I can’t wait! I hardly dared to hope id like their next game. I’m pretty picky. So for them to do this, I’m just thrilled!
Agreed. I was a little worried they were going to go sci-fi or something with the logo change. But, this is is so good.
Game gives me last of us vibe, making me think if there would be traders, settlers & bandits you can cross path with.
Yeah, I can second feeling the Last of Us vibes. I will be curious to see if that continues. I know this is very early phases. So, things can change drastically between now and early access.
The reveal reminds me of the Last of Us at times, which I am not necessarily sold on, but let's see when they reveal a bit more.
Yeah, it gave me the Last of Us vibes too. I'm not sure how I feel about that as well- but defiantly need to wait for more details.
I don’t think this one is on Great Bear. I think this one may be on the Mainland.
Yeah, it seems to be on the Mainland- in a big town called Harmont.
Very first impression: This gives me The Long Dark + STALKER + The Division vibes.
I can see that. It does feel like there are some other influences in there.
Honestly, I’m hoping this game has three different modes to play. Solo would be great and it seems they are hinting at Co-op, but what I would absolutely love would be if they have a game mode similar to Rust in which multiple players spawn into the world at once, building bases, creating factions, etc. and to “reset” the server a blizzard comes in that eventually kill every player.
Oh, that would be interesting. As long as there isn't PVP I'm game.
Imagine building a fire so you and your mount can warm up. How are we going to get grain to feed horses?
Yeah, I was wondering about that. Does the horse have needs too? It's interesting to ponder. And horses can live on Hay- but I don't even know how you grow the grass for that with it being so cold.
The art looks so much like all the fan art from TLD1
It does. It looks really good though.
Omg this isn't real I'm crying again I'm so happy
I had the same reaction when I saw it pop up. I am so stupidly excited for it.
4:18 is that the golden gate bridge
I think it is just a look a-like. I did see Canadian roadsides. So, maybe it is just inspired by the Golden Gate Bridge?
I don't necessarily think we can obtain what the game will look like from this trailer. This is an animated trailer, usually these trailers don't reflect the game at all. I hope it does look like this, it's so gorgeous.
That is true. I'm trying to keep an open mind. I am sure a lot of things will change from this trailer by the time we get early access in 2026.
@@jitwire I think we should all start sending ideas in to hinterland. I would like another layer to upgrade everything, rifle scope, casting better tools, using more animal parts. Rare items, polar bear skin, military webbing for extra carry, repairable bows. I'm too geeky with TLD.

I wonder if it will be a side-scrolling game based on the way it looks. Although I wouldn't like it much, I would still love this game!
I would need to go read the steam page again- but I do believe it said something about open world. So, I hope it isn't in a side scroll format. XD
Chopping down trees?!?! What's next, binoculars and jumping?😅
The one guy around the fire was wearing binoculars! So, come on jumping. Lol
Wow that art does look gorgeous! That it looks multiplayer makes me sad. I'm just thinking about all the stuff I'll miss not having anyone else to play with.
I believe they are doing options for both- at least that is what the steam page leads me to believe.

I really, REALLY HOPE pvp is opt out, because I’m not here for a rust.
Same. Just same.
Everything is in 3rd person. Makes me think this is more strategy game.
In the trailer it is, but some of the marketing shots they released in their press kit are first person. So, I'm hopeful.
It's not in 3rd person. All the screenshots of gameplay on the steam page are in first-person. I'm not sure why so many people think having a camera pan over everything means the game is going to be 3rd person, or even a topdown strategy game. That's such a bizarre notion.
