Do you think there will be Firewatch 2?

[WladcaSłabizny]

Or some DLC's? Like with a new adventures and/or areas? I would appreciate less linearity.

Speaking as someone who's not even remotely in the loop with the devs, I would say "unlikely". Many companies like to move forward, especially when other projects get started-- in this case, In The Valley Of Gods which is listed as being "TBD" but I think is expected in 2019. I certainly wouldn't say "never" but Firewatch, as presented, isn't an easy plotline to return to... it's more likely to be one of the characters on a new and different adventure.

Doubtful. Firewatch had a specific mini-mystery to tell, and without it, there would be little driving force to rely on. As much as I loved the passive chillax simulator and the characterisation, it would still need something to drive it, and having that happen in another reserve and be based on another firewatch group would be a bit arbitrary.

Rather than a Firewatch 2, another gentle, characterisation-focus mystery would work just as well. These folks did a great job so I can totally understand why you'd want more, but the setting and such would probably need to be switched up so much that it would be less 'Firewatch 2' and some fresh title y'know?

That said, the little fan within me wouldn't mind some continuation of Henry's story, but the thematic isolation and the lack of NPCs would probably be real hard to write for, assuming they don't switch up the engine to one that deals with active NPCs rather than set pieces.

I really, really, really enjoy the term "Passive Chillax Simulator".

I'd have thought it more likely they'd release a new story, similar format, different setting

[Ozric]

Well if there ever was some form of continuation / expansion as a sequel or DLC, I'd be buying it. I thoroughly enjoyed the game

Valve owns Campo Santo now, so it will be nice to see what they are gonna do with a bigger budget, pretty sure they will focus on VR too.

Aww, there's no need to be like that. There is plenty of negative attention for everyone. Don't have to be greedy. Here, eat up.

Now now, you can just ask for more. Don't be greedy or you might give yourself a tummy ache.

Anyway, to get back to the point, no I don't thnk so. The story works as a one-and-done, move on to something different. Some stories work best as a stand alone which don't need a sequel, and this is definitely one of them. I would be interested if they release another game in the same genre, if it had the same quality story telling and voice acting.

Yep, agreed. I can't see how they'd do a sequel. And as time goes on the game engine would need updating, which would entail a disproportionate amount of work to follow on from
