WILL: Follow The Light  – New Unreal Engine 5 Narrative Adventure Sets Sail at Gamescom 2024

TomorrowHead Studio :

SPOKANE, Wash. – Aug. 21, 2024 – International independent game developer TomorrowHead Studio today revealed the first trailer for its debut game, WILL: Follow The Light, during the Future Games Show. WILL: Follow The Light is a realistic, single-player, first-person journey through the harsh northern latitudes, coming to PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.

TomorrowHead Studio is a new international game development company headquartered in Spokane, Washington. Deeply inspired by the wanderlust of travel and exploration, TomorrowHead wants to send players on journeys of discovery – to explore places and worlds they've never been to before.

WILL: Follow The Light is a narrative adventure taking players on a journey across stormy seas and rugged Nordic shores. Players will take the helm of a sailing yacht – piloted with realistic controls and developed in collaboration with arctic voyagers – and navigate the cold and hostile environments of far-northern seas.

Players will assume the role of Will, a fearless man who grew up on the sea, as he ventures north in search of his missing son. WILL’s story explores the relationship between father and son in an adventure taking players on an emotional rollercoaster through wild thunderstorms, the ringing silence of loneliness, and a tale about the importance of caring for loved ones.

Players will face challenges on the sea and on land. As players progress, they will solve puzzles rooted in real life, chart their path using an authentic weather station and lifelike navigation system, and traverse snowy trails by dog sled in search of answers.

“We have been working together on WILL for more than two years, so today’s announcement is an exciting moment for our team,” said Roman Novikov, Founder and Game Director at TomorrowHead Studio. “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.”

Players can wishlist WILL: Follow The Light on Steam and keep up to date with TomorrowHead Studio on the official website, Twitter/X, YouTube, Tiktok, Instagram and Reddit.
