The Long Dark Multiplayer — Find Partners for Sky Co-op

The Long Dark is Hinterland's survival game in the frozen Canadian wilderness: manage warmth, food and injuries across a quiet, hostile world. The game itself is single-player, but the community Sky Co-op mod adds co-op survival. AnySquad's LFG posts help The Long Dark players find partners for the mod.

Why solo queue The Long Dark sucks

The Long Dark has no built-in multiplayer, so co-op means a mod and a partner with the same version — and nowhere in the game to find one. A post that says which region and difficulty you want to survive is how players team up.

Find a The Long Dark duo, or build a full squad

A duo is the easiest way to play The Long Dark with someone better than a random fill — one person you can actually talk to. For a full squad, post the slots you still need: a post that says what it is missing gets answered faster than a profile that lists what you play.
