First-person narrative adventure game WILL: Follow The Light announced for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC

Developer TomorrowHead Studio has announced first-person narrative adventure game WILL: Follow The Light for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam). It will launch in 2025.

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

Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
