Winter Resort DLC — Your Questions Answered!

The release of The Last Gas Station: Winter Resort is getting closer, and we've seen quite a few questions about what to expect from the DLC. Will we learn more about the original story? What happened to the red panda? Will there be co-op? And just how much new content is coming?

We've gathered your most frequently asked questions and are ready to share some answers. Let's get into it!

Release & Gameplay

Q: When is Winter Resort coming out, and what time will it launch?

Winter Resort launches on November 18, 2026! The exact release time is still TBA.

Q: How much will the DLC cost?

TBA. We'll share more details closer to release!

Q: Will Winter Resort support co-op?

Yes! Co-op is planned for Winter Resort DLC, although it might not be available right at launch.

Q: How much new content will the DLC offer? How many hours of gameplay can we expect?

In terms of gameplay content, Winter Resort is comparable to the base game and might even offer more! The story, however, will be shorter — roughly 20–30% of the original game's story content.

As for playtime, it really depends on your playstyle! Some players finished the base game in around 10 hours, while others spent 30 hours exploring and running their gas station. So how long your Winter Resort adventure lasts is largely up to you!

Q: Can I continue from my existing save, or will I need to start over?

Winter Resort tells a separate story, so you'll be starting a new adventure. Your progress in the base game won't affect the DLC, as its events follow one specific ending of the original story.

Q: Will there be new activities and collectibles, such as new fish?

There will be plenty of new activities — roughly as many as the familiar ones! However, we're not planning to add new collections in Winter Resort.

Q: Will there be a proper weather system, with snowstorms, snowfall, and other weather events?

Weather will have some influence on gameplay, although its impact will be relatively minor.

Q: Will there be new Steam achievements?

Yes! There will be new achievements to unlock.

Story & Mysteries

Q: Which of the four original endings is canon? Is it the bad ending?

One of the original endings is indeed canon for Winter Resort, but we're not ready to reveal which one just yet. We can give you one little hint, though: it's definitely NOT the bad ending!

Q: What happened to the red panda? Will we find out in the DLC?

Observant players will find plenty of clues about the red panda's fate. Some will be right in front of you, while others will be hidden in places most players probably wouldn't think to read.

Q: Will Winter Resort have a proper storyline with mystery elements?

Absolutely! There will be a story, and the mystery isn't going away entirely. That said, Winter Resort focuses more on gameplay, so don't expect a storyline as extensive as the one in the base game.

Q: Will the DLC continue any unfinished storylines from the original game, such as the mysteries surrounding Bigfoot and other characters?

Some characters from the original game will indeed make an appearance in the DLC's story, and attentive players will be able to fill in some gaps about what happened to them.

Q: How long after the original game does Winter Resort take place?

More than 10 years have passed since the events of The Last Gas Station!

Q: Will there be new legends, mysterious events, and secrets to uncover?

The Legends mechanic is staying, but there will be fewer legends, and they'll take on a different form to better reflect the passage of time.

A touch of mystery will remain, too, although it will feel a little different this time around, reflecting the ending we've chosen as canon.

That's all for now! We hope this clears up some of your questions while leaving a few mysteries for you to discover on your own. We'll be sharing the DLC's price and exact release time early next week, so stay tuned for more news!

And don't forget to wishlist Winter Resort DLC and get ready to return to the gas station on November 18!
