Hey everyone. With survival games like Green Hell and The Forest getting official co-op, the question keeps coming back:
If you want a polished co-op survival game, this isn’t it yet. But if you’re a patient tinkerer who wants to boil water for a buddy freezing to death in Pleasant Valley? It’s magical when it works.
Here’s a draft for a forum or Reddit post about The Long Dark co-op mod. You can adjust the tone (enthusiastic/cautious) depending on your audience. PSA / Discussion: The State of Co-op in The Long Dark (Modding Scene, 2026)
Short answer: Hinterland has repeatedly stated TLD is designed as a solitary, single-player experience. However, the modding community has been quietly working on this for years.
Do you think Hinterland will ever add official co-op in The Long Dark 2 (if that ever happens), or is the isolation the whole point?
Stay warm out there. 🔥 Edit: Updated for mod version 0.8.2 as of April 2026.
