Dear Esther Landmark Edition Releases
LONDON – September 20, in the year of our Lord 2016
– The Chinese Room’s breathtaking narrative adventure Dear
Esther lands on consoles for the first time today, in the form
of a stunning Landmark Edition.
Available now with a limited-time discount of 20 percent off the
SRP of $9.99 / £7.99 / €9.99, Dear Esther: Landmark Edition
gives PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners the opportunity to
experience the game which defined a genre.
Dear Esther is a narrative adventure that takes place on an
uninhabited Hebridean island, upon which a lone man must piece
together the chain of events which lead to his wife’s death.
Widely acclaimed upon its original release on PC in 2012, it is
a game unlike any other; a visual and aural experience which has
rarely been bettered.
The Landmark Edition introduces a brand new commentary which
reunited the original team of Jessica Curry, Rob Briscoe and Dan
Pinchbeck for the first time in years, to play through and
comment on the game, its legacy and offer unique insight into
the creation of this incredible game.
In addition to the commentary – which can be enjoyed right from
the start, if you prefer – the Landmark Edition also boasts some
additional tweaks not seen in the current PC release, including
additional accessibility options. In addition, the Landmark
Edition introduces respectful trophies and achievements. The
PlayStation 4 version is also bundled with a gorgeous dynamic
theme.
“Dear Esther has been with us for eight years now, but our
passion remains undiminished – and we are as excited about it
now as we were the first time,” says Dan Pinchbeck, The Chinese
Room. “This Landmark Edition is the culmination of the work of
an extraordinary team of individuals and we’re excited to see
how console players will respond.”
Dear Esther: Landmark Edition is available on PlayStation 4 and
Xbox One today, priced $7.99 / £6.39 / €7.99 for a limited time.
The Landmark Edition additions and enhancements will be made
available to existing PC owners as a free update at a later
date.
