Lone Survivor – The Director’s Cut is coming to Mac and PC on<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Halloween, the 31st October, 2013<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

i have quietly been beavering away over the last few months to bring this enormous update back to the format it began life on.\u00a0<\/span>it was originally going to be a very slightly updated version of the original game, but turned into a ten-month odyssey. i was able to add all the little details which i wasn’t able to squeeze in the first time round, so that i could bring my original vision to you with no compromises,\u00a0and with them a whole load of new ideas that emerged as i worked on it.<\/p>\n

almost without fail, business-minded friends and colleagues, as well as the players themselves, expected i would release the game as a brand new version, requiring the players of the original game to purchase it again, or at the very least to release the update as paid DLC.\u00a0i gave it a huge amount of thought, and eventually i realised i would rather just give the update away for FREE to all 800,000+ customers, to say thank you for your support…\u00a0and that’s exactly what i’m going to do!<\/p>\n

yep, you heard it right: Lone Survivor – The Director’s Cut is going to be 100% FREE to anyone who has bought the game so far (even for $0.01 in the Humble Bundle!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

to offset some of the (quite large) costs of making it, i will be having a small price increase on release, although i’ll be running a sale for the first couple of days so that it’ll still be possible to purchase at the original price before the increase. exact pricing TBA on release day, as i am still talking to the various vendors. on the subject of which, i am very happy to announce that the game will also be coming to Good Old Games<\/a>, a fantastic site doing great work to preserve the classics of yesteryear, as well as releasing the greatest of the latest.<\/p>\n

what’s really cool is that your saved game from the original version will still be compatible with The Director’s Cut (but not the other way round.)<\/p>\n

the response to the PlayStation versions has been wonderful, with the game earning not-too-shabby 84% on Metacritic. i am so happy to see a new generation of console players discover the game, which marks the end of a massively important chapter of my life. thanks so much to Curve studios for their fantastic ports, and especially\u00a0to all the players who have supported the game.<\/p>\n

i really hope all my PC and Mac owning brethren enjoy The Director’s Cut,<\/p>\n

love and peace to you all!<\/p>\n
