As per a recent announcement from Gameloft, The Oregon Trail will be made available for PC and Nintendo Switch.
The Oregon Trail, a beloved classic game, will be coming to PC and Nintendo Switch in November. The Oregon Trail is expanding to additional platforms, and Gameloft is excited to announce that it will soon be available on Windows, Steam, and Nintendo Switch.
The Oregon Trail was the most downloaded game on Apple Arcade in 2021 when it was first released in April. On November 14th, 2022, gamers will be able to play Gameloft Brisbane’s updated version of the original game on PC and Nintendo Switch.
David MacMinn, Game Manager, noted, “We’re incredibly excited for even more players to experience The Oregon Trail. We’re pleased to see our game expand to multiple new platforms, and we hope PC and Nintendo players will enjoy their time on the trail as much as we did making it.”
Caroline Fraser, Head of HarperCollins Productions, noted, “The gameplay in our new version of The Oregon Trail has proven to be as exciting and sticky as it was in the ‘90s. The stunning graphics will grab players as they journey west and confront new dangers, meet a wide cast of historical figures, and overcome challenging obstacles on their way to Oregon.”
In The Oregon Trail game, players are put in the middle of all the difficulties encountered on the westward voyage. They must make difficult decisions in perilous and unexpected circumstances in order to fill their wagon, select their traveling group, and ensure that they all arrive in Oregon safely. In a first for the franchise, players will also learn about the real history of the path, such as the Native American experience.
The Oregon Trail, which will be released in November, was developed with assistance from Gameloft Lviv and will be an exact replica of the Apple Arcade edition. The most recent new features provide further accessibility settings, activities, and visual filters to view the game in a completely new way, and it includes all five prior content upgrades.
The Oregon Trail offers “a modern twist on the trials and tribulations of the road to Oregon.” According to the publisher, the game’s 15 playable trips and seven missions will “immerse players in exhilarating journeys ranging from the historically accurate to the totally extreme.”
In the game, there will be a new fishing minigame including over 80 species, as well as the traditional perils like damaged limbs, river fording, moving gunpowder through the wilderness, blizzards, snakebites, famine, tiredness, and dysentery.
The Oregon Trail is a series of various instructional video games. Don Rawitsch, Bill Heinemann, and Paul Dillenberger created the initial game in 1971, and the Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium (MECC) produced it in 1974. The original game’s purpose was to educate 8th-grade students about the reality of living as a pioneer on the Oregon Trail during the 19th century. In 1848, the player takes on the role of a wagon leader who is transporting a group of settlers by covered wagon from Missouri to Oregon.
