Timberline Studio have announced they are bringing The Red Lantern to Nintendo Switch in 2019.
The game focuses on a young woman seeking to re-invent themselves and push away past failures by finishing the Iditarod- a real life husky sledding race recreating the 1925 serum run to Nome.
The race takes place over 900 miles from Anchorage to Nome. Finishing times take eight to fifteen days in blizzards and wind chills of −100 °F (−73 °C).
The game utilizes resource management and rogue-like elements across hundreds of events. Choices can effect how you look after your dogs, hunt, and survive. In addition, players can look around with the Switch in hand-held mode.
