A few months ago Wasteland 2 and my PC got on about as well as Piers Morgan and Wayne LaPierre, but as of a recent update I’m glad to say that inXile’s old school cRPG is as smooth as butter on my machine (though I do have to turn SSAO off, but I’ll stop talking about that before I before you).

We now know the first game coming from the collective of (mostly) veteran developers that is Campo Santo, and that game is called Firewatch.

The game's announcement describes Firewatch as "first-person video game where you, as a man named Henry, explore the Wyoming wilderness after taking a summer job as a fire lookout." Obviously, there's much more to the story, and something draws Henry away from his post. His only line of communication is with his boss, Delilah, on the other end of a handheld radio.

Firewatch's being developed on Unity, and is currently planned for a release in 2015 on PC, Mac, and Linux. Console versions are being explored, but the developer couldn't confirm anything just yet.

"Long-term we want the game to be playable by as many people as possible and will aim to be on any platform that fits the design of the game," said the company in its FAQ.

Management Commentary

"The transition to next generation console gaming continues to impact our financial performance," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer of Majesco Entertainment. "Holiday sales reflect the expected slow build of the casual gaming installed base on the newest console systems. This ongoing transition, coupled with now entrenched digital platforms which have fragmented the market, have led us to develop opportunities for additional revenue streams. We recently made two strategic investments in GMS Entertainment for online casino games and digital lotteries, and Midnight City, publisher and distributor of digital games for independent developers. We will build our 2014 release slate with a judicious use of resources and, even though we anticipate a loss for the full fiscal year, we are confident that we have the resources necessary to fund our operations and invest for future growth."

Announced Product Line-up

To date, the Company has announced the following titles for launch during its fiscal second quarter 2014 and the remainder of the year:
