Developer SpaceRocket Games and publisher Toplitz Productions are excited to announce Permafrost, an exhilarating new addition to the survival game genre with a chilling narrative. Permafrost thrusts players into a bleak, open-world urban landscape where survival is not just a choice—it's a necessity.

Permafrost will provide both single player and co-op play for up to 4 players and is scheduled to launch on Steam early access in 2025 on PC.

In the wake of the cataclysmic 'shattering', an apocalyptic moon phase phenomenon, humanity teeters on the brink of extinction as the world succumbs to an eternal deep freeze. The game showcases the collapse of political and economic structures and the deadly winter cold that has claimed billions of lives

As a survivor, adaptability is key. Players must brave sub-zero temperatures, hunt elusive prey, and repurpose salvaged machinery to craft essential survival tools. In this frozen wasteland, danger lurks at every turn—from hostile factions vying for control to the ever-present threat of natural predators.

Key Features

• Survival in a Harsh Environment: Adapt to the perpetual winter by scavenging for resources, hunting rare animals, and crafting essential tools amidst the unforgiving elements.

• Dynamic Decision Making: Navigate moral dilemmas as you decide between rebuilding society or seizing power, shaping humanity's fate amidst the frozen wasteland.

• Cold Zones: Explore cold zones for additional resources and valuable loot, scout and restore buildings, and create new living spaces.
• Deadly Combat: Defend against threats using primitive weapons or firearms, facing hostile enemies or natural predators in a relentless battle for survival.
• Dog Companion: A rescued dog serves as a faithful companion and early warning system, using its keen sense of smell and awareness to help you roam the wilderness.
• Multiplayer Co-op: Go alone or join forces with friends in online co-op to scavenge, craft, build, and survive in a brutal world.
