“Firewatch” is ready to launch next year.

"Firewatch" is a single-player, first-person video game being developed by Campo Santo. After all the teasers, the game is looking a lot real now especially with the release date coming to a close.

According to Destructoid, the game just had an update on the screenshot previews. The game website also has three video teasers for the game, including a gameplay demo.

This is a great improvement from the independent game developer based in San Francisco. From being just a gaming idea, they are now close to finishing the game.

According to PlayStation Blog, the game developers are on the stage of polishing, optimizing and developing the last details of the game.

"Firewatch" is a wilderness mystery game set in Wyoming. The gamer will play as the man named Henry who "has retreated from his messy life to work as a fire lookout in the Wyoming wilderness."

As a watch, Henry's job would be to look out for smoke that could cause a huge forest fire in the area. Basically, he is the forest fire guard.

The conflict of the game will start when Henry notices some irregularities in his surroundings. Though he has a handheld radio companion, Delilah, he does not have anyone to join him in this investigation.

"Firewatch" was first introduced during the E3 2015 conference. It will be launched on Windows, Mac, Linux and PlayStation 4.

The game is published as a joint venture by Campo Santo and Panic, Inc., a Portland-based software company. The game will be released on Feb. 9, 2016.
