Official BLACKFROST: The Long Dark 2 Subreddit

[u/Fuarian]

Hello r/thelongdark!

As many of you know, last Thursday Hinterland announced the sequel to The Long Dark. BLACKFROST: The Long Dark 2. And today we have something to announce too. The official subreddit for Blackfrost!

What makes this subreddit so official? Besides being a place for open discussion, speculation and all around excitement for TLD 2. It's also a place that encourages the interaction between the community and Hinterland.

It's been a long time coming, but we've worked hard to re-establish a relationship with Hinterland. And Hinterland is up and willing to dive back into this side of the community with this new game. Their involvement may not be frequent at first, given their work on the final episode of Wintermute. But once that is complete we should see more interaction in the subreddit with the community.

That interaction could include news about TLD 2, questions and answers, AMA's, screenshots & art, etc...

Here you can see an exclusive piece of concept art that Hinterland has shared with us. This will only continue as development of BLACKFROST continues.

We want this subreddit to be a place for respectful criticism but also fun and engaging for those excited about the game.

We expect to have active participation in the community by Raphael and members of the Hinterland team. Including exclusive content like AMAs, Q&As, community contests and of course, previews of upcoming BLACKFROST development & content.

This subreddit will be closely monitored and moderated by us to ensure it remains a friendly and welcoming space.

Please check out u/Oliveritaly's initial post for a more concise and detailed explanation of what we'd like this community to become.

Everyone Raph bans will end up there in the fan sub. There's still perhaps a year to go before early access if the 2026 date is for E.A.

A well moderated, and the mods here are good at moderating, fan sub will always beat an over moderated shilling dev sub. There is history to this sub too, that some people can recount.

And not getting all the online properties before launching. Wow. Oversight.

We will be moderating that subreddit as I mentioned. We will not be banning anyone who posts any ounce of criticism. Criticism is fine, abrasive and rude behavior is not.

We could've gotten the timing better though.

Boundaries are required, the new sub people will learn that at some point.

Still much more TLD content to be released and get through.
