Firewatch coming this year

Sony and Campo Santo have confirmed that Firewatch will launch as a console exclusive on PS4 this year, as well as on PC.

Firewatch follows the story of a volunteer fire lookout officer in the aftermath of the Yellowstone fires of 1988. You play as a man named Henry, who’s retreated from his messy life for the summer to take a job as a Wyoming forest fire lookout. You are in constant radio communication with your supervisor Delilah — your only remaining link to the outside world.

Henry’s only form of communication is a walkie-talkie connecting him to his supervisor, Delilah (voiced by Cissy Jones). Players may choose from a number of dialog options to interact with her, or refrain from responding. The player’s choices will influence the tone of his relationship with Delilah.
