Release Date? Platforms? Pre-Order? The Firewatch Pre-Launch FAQ

[sean-o]

I'm so excited! What's the release date?!
February 9, 2016. We are also very excited.

That is like 2 months, 3 weeks, 4 days and 7 hours away. I want to PREORDER! Are you doing preorders?
We're currently not planning on doing pre-orders and are focused on just making the game as high-quality and polished as possible. In the meantime, you can add the game to your Steam Wishlist! That way you're notified the moment the game is available.

I need my Linux. Linux support?
We are planning full Linux support and be as helpful as possible in the Mac/Linux support thread.

I only game on beautiful machines honed from a solid piece of aluminum. Mac?
We are planning full Mac support.

I have other questions. I demand answers.
We have a FAQ on our company site[www.firewatchgame.com] and are here to answer any other questions you might have below or in the forums.

With such little time left before the game comes out, can we get a price??

[sean-o]

Our plan right now is to announce specs/price/etc the week before the game comes out. I promise it won't be anything unpredictable!

Well, for what it's worth, the natural dialogue in videos, gorgeous art style and unusual setting has the whole office buzzing.

You seem to be going out of your way to set accurate expectations re: duration, etc... which is sincerely appreciated. The fact that you're not willing to commit on system specs/etc until you're certain actually counts as a point in your favour with me too.

I swore off pre-orders after some major disappointments from big studios.

FWIW I would've made an exception for this.

Very excited to play it, and I hope it lives up expectations!

P.S. Get a caffeine drip for your devs and testers. No doubt they need it :)

Will this be a digital only kind of game? I plan to buy it on PS4 but I prefer hard copies.

Was hoping for a retail version myself [PS4], but I believe the developers have stated [in on of the posts here on Steam] that for now its a digital only :(

Still would get it if it ever makes as a retail package ..

I started a new thread about this, but imagine it'll disappear into the depths so thought I'd ask this here as well:

Will the game feature - or are there plans to include at a later date - a developer commentary option? Very much looking forward to playing through the story but also very interested to hear about the development process, especially as it's the studio's first game that all of them have worked on together.

Cheers!

It's not really an "early access" kind of game, so that won't be happening. But we'll be glad for you to play it anyway, even if it takes you a couple months!

Pre-load is not just for early access games. Most triple A titles get a pre-load, why can't we have one for Firewatch?

[Polysorbate]

Is there smoke in the game? Do you start fires or just watch them? Do you get a fire hose? Binoculars? Do you press A to say "I see a fire"? Do you have a fire axe for cutting things that might be on fire? Are there fireworks? If a boombox is present and I carry it to the end of the game will I get an achievement?

What IS Firewatch?

You can lock FPS with MSI Afterburner, AMD FRTC technology etc. There is always a way to lock FPS. Don't see such option in-game often.

Any info about preload ?
