Night In The Woods Is Getting A Director’s Cut

A New Night Approaches

Layered with a striking art design and a narrative that had players intrigued from beginning to end, the misadventures of the adorable, anthropomorphic cat Mae are still fresh in the minds of players. Supernatural hi-jinks with endearing animal characters never fail to inspire an intense fan following after all!

However, for those who didn’t get a chance to experience it, have no fear as what is likely to become the game’s definitive edition is right around the corner.

According to an article on Polygon –

Night In The Woods, the narrative adventure game from Scott Benson, Bethany Hockenberry and Alec Holowka, is getting a new director’s cut called Night In The Woods: Weird Autumn. It’s scheduled to come out on Dec. 13. The game’s official Twitter account has also teased a release on “another console.”

The game was originally released on PlayStation 4 as well as Linux, Mac and Windows PC. Tweets sent out today indicated it was also coming to Xbox One. By process of elimination, that means the game is likely also bound for the Nintendo Switch.

Night In The Woods is a critically acclaimed adventure game that follows a cat named Mae and her closest friends through a supernatural adventure in a fictional Rust Belt town. It was lauded for its throwback, point-and-click style as well as its heady philosophical and religious undertones. Our reviewer Justin McElroy called it “one of the most moving game narratives I’ve ever experienced.”

The trailer, which was released today, calls Weird Autumn the “definitive edition” of the game. It includes never before seen content, including new petty crim-based mini games and Mae’s own hallucinatory dream sequences. It also includes scenes from the game’s pre-release miniature episodes, titled Longest Night and Lost Constellation. Those experiences were previously only available as free downloads on PC.
