Lake - Season's Greetings has been announced and will bring players back into this unique game
Whitethorn Games and developer Gamious have announced a new prequel story for the slice-of-life title Lake. Called Season’s Greetings, this is a prequel story that introduces new stories, new characters and more to the quaint little town.
In Season's Greetings, players will take on the role of Thomas Weiss, father to Lake's protagonist Meredith Weiss. The story takes place during 1985's holiday season, in the year before the original Lake game.
“We can’t wait for players to jump back into Lake’s world, which might look even prettier covered in a layer of snow, and cheered up with lots of Christmas lighting. As far as we know, Season’s Greetings might be the first game that doesn’t just add a visual layer to make it a ‘Christmas game’, but is built from the ground up to let players experience a game in the true spirit of Christmas. With the annual bombardment of Christmas-themed music and movies, we think it’s about time to add a holiday game to that tradition!”
For those players who have concerns over the ending they got from the main game, don’t fret as this is a prequel the events of the main story have not happened yet.
While this new chapter will star many familiar faces, it will also introduce five completely new characters to the town of Providence Oaks, each of them with their own slice-of-life storylines.
While the base game is on PC, Xbox Series X|S and both PlayStation consoles, the DLC is only confirmed for PC at this stage and while consoles are planned, there are no specifics yet. The date is ‘Holiday’ season 2023, but nothing firmer than that.
