The Last Campfire, From the Creators of No Man’s Sky, Has a Steam Release Date

Hello Games, the creators of No Man’s Sky, has revealed that The Last Campfire is coming to Steam next month. More specifically, the cozy puzzle game will hit Steam on October 7. If you’re unsure if The Last Campfire is for you, Hello Games is releasing a playable demo for the game on October 1 as part of the Steam Next Fest. “The Last Campfire was a labour of love for a small team at the studio,” a press release about the announcement reads. “We’ve been lucky to have really lovely reviews across the board, and a bunch of awards and nominations. It seems to have struck an emotional chord with people as well. Now, we’re finally bringing it to Steam.” The Last Campfire is already available on Switch, Apple Arcade, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Epic Games Store and it’s been available on those platforms since last year. With it having been released on the Epic Games Store last year, this Steam release isn’t the first time PC players will get a chance to play the game.

The Last Campfire is better than it’s ever been, too, thanks to a new update in April that brought a ton of new things with it. For starters, it added 20% more puzzles to the game as well as the ability to replay any puzzle at any time.

The Last Campfire was developed by a three-person team within Hello Games, which makes sense considering the studio’s No Man’s Sky is still regularly receiving updates. It’s a puzzle game about a lost ember trapped in an unknown place working to find a way home.We reviewed The Last Campfire earlier this year, giving it a 9 out of 10, and you can read our full thoughts on the game in IGN’s The Last Campfire review.
