The Red Lantern launches on Switch this month, new trailer

Timberline Studio has set a release date for The Red Lantern, its dog-sledding narrative survival game. It’ll be out digitally via the eShop on October 22, the developer announced today.

Here’s an overview of The Red Lantern, along with a trailer:

The Red Lantern is a resource management narrative game where you and your team of five sled dogs must survive the wilderness and find your way home. Set in the outskirts of Alaska, you play as The Musher, voiced by Ashly Burch (Horizon: Zero Dawn, Life is Strange), as she sets out to start her new dog sledding life in the wilderness.

The game combines roguelite elements into this story-driven adventure game, where hundreds of different events can occur – like fending off bears, resisting frostbite, attending your dogs, or avoiding the most nefarious of woodland creatures: the squirrel.

Key Features

– Survive the Alaskan wilderness in this dog sledding, story-driven, rogue-lite game

The Red Lantern will cost $24.99 on the Switch eShop.
