Dear Esther is coming to consoles

Developer thechineseroom and publisher Curve Digital have announced that Dear Esther is coming to PS4 and Xbox One this summer.

Dear Esther asks players to explore a remote island in the Scottish Hebrides, assuming the role of a troubled man piecing together the chain of events which lead to his wife’s death. Fragments of letters appear throughout the island, weaving a complex narrative of both the recent and distant past.

The console versions will debut an all-new “director’s commentary” mode, where subsequent replays will be accompanied by an audio retrospective of the game’s inception, development, release and impact, as members of the original team reunite to provide the retrospective.

Dear Esther will be available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One later this year. The game originally released for PC back in 2012.
