Henry is escaping his troubled past by becoming a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness, working with the other lookouts to monitor and prevent forest fires. The company has produced popular and positively reviewed films such as Don’t Breathe, and Last Vegas in the past.įirewatch is set in 1989, putting players in the shoes of Henry, voiced by Richard Sommer of Mad Men. For Campo Santo this port is 100% about getting outdoors with a game about the outdoors, reminding gamers that there’s a world to explore out there that’s just as full of natural beauty as the one they created for Firewatch is.Ī Firewatch movie is also apparently being produced by horror movie company Good Universe. Given the unique capabilities open to the developer such as the tablet’s touch screen, or the Joy Con Controller motion detection, there are ways in which players could interact with the game using more than simple button presses. The game was a huge success as far as the studio were concerned, selling 1 million copies in the first year on sale.Ĭampo Santo have given no details on how the game may or may not differ on Nintendo Switch. The game also released for Xbox One later that same year, receiving high praise from fans and critics across all platforms. While no release date has been confirmed the studio say that the game should release at some point this spring on the hybrid handheld.įirewatch was Campo Santo’s first title and released in 2016 for PC and PlayStation 4. We want it to be found and enjoyed by as many people as possible.Campo Santo, developers of Firewatch, announced on their website that their hit indie title will be coming to Nintendo Switch soon. We’re lucky to be able to keep investing in and supporting a single player game that came out over two years ago, and we’re more proud of Firewatch than most things we’ve made in life. That means if things go to plan, we’ll see performance improvements on PlayStation 4 (and 4 Pro), Xbox One (and One X), Mac and PC. We expect to bring the low-level optimizations and tech clean-up we’re doing for the Switch to all platforms eventually. For the many people out there who haven’t played Firewatch yet, as well as the millions of existing fans who may go back and revisit the game some day, we want the experience to be as good as it can be. Plus, we’re hoping to throw in a couple surprises just for the Switch release.įor more information about Firewatch’s release on Nintendo Switch, keep an eye on this blog and on the Firewatch Switch website (sign up there to receive release date information and other Firewatch news by email)!Īnd for our other players, take note: The optimizations we’re doing to Firewatch aren’t just for Switch. We know what a good Switch game feels like, and want to make sure Firewatch feels like one too. We’ve been hard at work stripping much of Firewatch’s tech down to the studs and rebuilding it to render the world more quickly, to stream and load faster, and to generally be more responsive. Nearly everyone in the Campo Santo office has a Nintendo Switch (and the rest want one). When will it be out? All we can say is “soon!” Reengineering the sprawling meadows and towering trees of Firewatch’s wilderness to play perfectly on new hardware is no small engineering task. Firewatch is coming to the Nintendo Switch™!
