According to The Hollywood Reporter , the first project to come out of this deal is a movie adaptation of Firewatch, the studio's story-driven adventure game that released earlier this year for PS4 and PC, and launched in some territories last week for Xbox One."When we met Good Universe we were floored by how they recognize, cultivate and produce incredible stories," Campo Santo founder Sean Vanaman said. "It's rare you meet another group that shares so many of your values and makes the process of creating things even more exciting."Firewatch centers around a man named Henry who journeys out to the wilderness of Wyoming to work as a fire lookout. After noticing several strange occurrences, he explores his surroundings in search for answers, with a walkie-talkie connecting him with his supervisor, Delilah, serving as his only source of communication.In addition to the launch of an Xbox One version, which has yet to arrive in some territories , Campo Santo is adding a free-roam mode to Firewatch that allows players to explore the game's world and discover its hidden secrets.Read IGN's Firewatch review to find out why it's "among the very best of the first-person narrative genre" and "reminds us what video game storytelling is capable of in the right hands."
