Overview
- Ice-Pick Lodge is developing the sequel under publisher Hooded Horse, with original creator Acid Wizard overseeing as IP holder.
- Set a few years after the first game, the story shifts to the dying Aral Sea where an anomalous forest spreads across deserts, marshes, and deep waters.
- Core design remains a top-down, resource-scarce survival horror experience without quest markers or waypoints.
- The sequel features a standalone narrative with new characters, allowing newcomers to jump in without playing Darkwood.
- The game is confirmed for PC via Steam and the Microsoft Store with availability on PC Game Pass, and no release date has been announced.
