I remember playing The Oregon Trail at my friend’s house. It was such a blast to try to get my group of people out West. How many bullets did I need? Was it time to go hunting? It was a lot of fun and now it’s a bit of a meme with everyone dying from dysentery. Well, a remake from Gameloft was released back in 2021, but it was limited to Apple Arcade. Now, Gameloft and HarperCollins Productions have announced that The Oregon Trail (their remake) will be coming to the Nintendo Switch and PC in just a couple of weeks.
In The Oregon Trail, players are put at the center of all the trials and tribulations of the journey westward. They must stock their wagon, choose their traveling party, and make sure they all arrive safely to Oregon by making tough choices in dangerous and unexpected situations. Players will also learn the real history behind the trail, including the Native American experience, which is a first in the franchise.
The November release of The Oregon Trail will include all five content updates that have released since launch plus additional accessibility options, events, and visual filters. Talking about sharing the game with more players, David MacMinn said:
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 from HarperCollins Productions added:
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.
I personally think the visual upgrades look very nice. I wouldn’t mind sinking a couple of hours into reliving this classic game. You can wishlist The Oregon Trail now on Steam and it will also be available via the Microsoft Store (affiliate link) and the Nintendo eShop for $29.99. The game will launch on November 14. Will you make it to Oregon?
