The Council is once again called to order with the release of Episode 4: Burning Bridges

Whoa. A lot of that video is in French. Classy.

We last checked in on The Council back in March of this year, when we were anticipating the release of the first episode. Well, it seems that developer Big Bad Wolf has been committed to releasing their episodes in a timely manner (a refreshing tactic in the world of episodic games), because now they are releasing the fourth episode in sixth months. The fifth and final episode is promised to release before the end of 2018, and that will be a wrap on The Council. No muss, no fuss.

While I haven’t caught up with The Council yet, I am hoping to dive in and devour the entire series soon. As a result, I’m purposely avoiding story spoilers. But I can say that the official description says that the fourth episode “sees allegiances explained, rivalries come to a head, and the ghosts of the past begin to catch up to the inhabitants of the island. Your decisions will haunt you as you decide the fate of Louis, Mortimer, and the world itself.” Louis! Mortimer! Who could they be? Intrigue!

The new episode is available today for individual purchase, and for season pass holders. The Council is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam.
