As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait. And for those waiting on Jasper Byrne’s Super Lone Survivor, that day is next week. Originally announced for a 2021 release, this enhanced edition of Lone Survivor will be headed to PC via Steam on October 31.
If you’re not familiar with the 2012 original Lone Survivor, you are a masked protagonist who must escape from a city ravaged by disease by any means necessary. Starving and exhausted, how you survive is up to you. Sneak through without firing a single shot, or kill everything in your path. Eat and sleep well, or resort to drugs to keep going. Search for survivors, or try to escape the city alone. Look after your mental health, or descend into madness.
Super Lone Survivor has been rebuilt with a modern engine, and will include support for gamepads on PC, ultrawide monitor support, 4K effects and 60 fps. The game will also include all-new ultra smooth parallax scrolling layers. And for those old-school fans, the game contains a new 4:3 presentation mode and the original art has been painstakingly extended in height to support this taller aspect ratio.
Of course, there’s more to the game than a fresh coat of paint. Super Lone Survivor includes new content exclusive to the game, including hidden areas, and an overarching sidequest that ties it all together. There are also new foods to discover and craft, new enemy types and even new combat tools. Byrne also intends for the game to both be more accessible via its ‘Relaxed’ difficulty setting, and more challenging through its ‘Stressful’ setting.
And primarily being a musician, Jasper has remastered Super Lone Survivor‘s audio in much higher quality, as well close to an album’s worth of new material for the soundtrack.
And while you wait, don’t forget to check out our two-part interview with Jasper Byrne, who talks about making the original game, and the inspiration for his remake.
