It's finally summer! And nothing says summer more than getting deep into the American wilderness to enjoy the mountains, the trees, lakes and streams.

If you can imagine it, the picture in your head might remind you of Firewatch, Campo Santo's wilderness adventure game. It seems the folks at Ford agree, too. So much so, they decided to use some of the game's art to promote their summer sale.

Panic Inc, co-producers of Firewatch, were sent a message from a fan on Twitter. They were shocked to see key art from the game used for an email campaign from a local Ford dealership.

It reminds me of when Naughty Dog used concept art for Assassin's Creed: Black Flag in a trailer for Uncharted 4. :smh:
