The countdown to the frozen apocalypse begins. In merely eleven days, on October 9, 2026, the highly anticipated story-based survival sandbox Permafrost will open its Early Access gates. Experience a world covered in ice and snow and battered by constant sub-zero temperatures, where nature itself is out to kill you, making other dangers like wild animals and rivalling factions look like childs play.

But what lead to the catastrophe that sets the apocalyptic backdrop for this high octane survival experience? Development studio SpaceRocket Games and German indie publisher Toplitz Productions are proud to announce the release of the Story Trailer, giving you insights on Earth’s downfall and the collapse of civilization as we know it.

However, there still is a glimmer of hope. On October 9, you can take over the main character Rook and step into the white hell to find your friend Icarus, to unravel the mystery of the moon shattering and to help humanity cling on to existence. Try to survive alone, only with your trusty dog at your side or brave the cold with up to four survivors in co-operative multiplayer. Prove that you have what it takes to survive Permafrost.

Permafrost is available in Early Acess on PC via Steam, GOG and Epic Games Store on October 9, 2026. More information can be found on the respective store pages. Join our official Discord server to get the latest news on Permafrost and other titles from Toplitz Productions.
