Long Drive North (Early Access) now Launches on November 18

Long Drive North · published 4 Nov 2025, 15:16 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

In our final pre-launch checks we have encountered some save issues. We have therefore taken the tough decision to delay Early Access launch until November 18.

Why the Delay?

Those of you who played the NextFest demo will have a good idea of what to expect from the Early Access launch version.

Like the demo, at Early Access launch Long Drive North features the core survival mechanics and repair mechanics - and supports co-op with separate RV's. However, the Early Access launch version also includes endless route generation - and, of course, the ability to save your progress.

In our final pre-launch checks we have found some issues with saving and loading. As an Early Access game, there will always be some bugs and glitches. But the saving bugs we've encountered would have a negative impact on the experience of lots of players, so we have decided to delay launch by a couple of weeks to get these resolved.

We appreciate that this news will be disappointing to many of you who are excited join our Early Access journey. Thank you all for your patience. We can’t wait to get the game into your hands on November 18!
