TomorrowHead Studio brings an authentic first-person, story-driven adventure game to current-gen platforms.

Immerse yourself in a realistic, single-player, first-person journey through the harsh northern latitudes as you sail endless waters in search of a way back to your loved ones. Will you follow the light? Uncover a story that will keep you guessing until the very end. WILL: Follow The Light, created by the young indie studio TomorrowHead, is an adventure story game that strives to push the boundaries of the genre. The escapist storyline is inspired by the game Firewatch, while the visuals and atmosphere are influenced by Alan Wake. WILL: Follow The Light features unusual yet intuitive gameplay mechanics set against the backdrop of an epic northern landscape. You will find yourself sailing between remote islands and uncharted waters.

Learn more about your own nature as you explore a variety of meaningful locations, from the rugged Nordic coastline to the icy and stormy Northern Sea. The plot is filled with puzzles and mysterious elements related to your relatives, drawing you in and keeping you eager to unlock the next layer of the story until harsh reality pulls you back. Will’s story revisits the timeless dilemma between fathers and sons and will leave you deeply affected. This emotional roller coaster will take you through wild thunderstorms, the ringing silence of loneliness, and the importance of caring for your loved ones.

Get ready to experience the thrill of piloting a sailing yacht with realistic controls developed with input from actual voyagers’ stories, yet simplified for any player to enjoy. Navigating cold and hostile environments has always been vital to the people of the North, and WILL, a fearless man raised on the sea, embodies this spirit of adventure. Face challenges not only on the water, but also on land. Feel the endless contrast between two elements of nature as you take on the role of Lightkeeper. To progress, solve real-world puzzles using an authentic weather station and lifelike navigation system. The beacon guides your path and illuminates your hopes. Traverse treacherous, snowy trails with a dog sled and search for the answers. As you embark on this adventure, you will lose track of time and be completely engrossed in the mysterious journey.

“We have been working together on WILL for more than two years, so today’s announcement is an exciting moment for our team. At TomorrowHead, we have been inspired by some of the best games in the genre and what they do so well – Firewatch’s sense of escape and loneliness… Alan Wake’s visuals and atmosphere – and we have invested heavily in art and technology to deliver a narrative adventure that will have players exploring the world in a whole new way. We look forward to revealing more later this year,” said TomorrowHead Studio founder and game director Roman Novikov in a press release.

WILL: Follow The Light will be released in 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC.
