While the gaming world looks with anticipation to the coming Steam Next Fest starting later in the month, there is still the chance to play one of the hottest demos on Steam. During the October edition of the demo event, the survival adventure Permafrost from development team SpaceRocket Games and publisher Toplitz Productions collected a ‘very positive’ rating from the Steam users for the trial version, which garnered more than 300.000 downloads so far.

Experience the fascination of Permafrost for yourself, when you brave bone-chilling temperatures in arctic-like conditions caused by a world-changing event that resulted in the almost complete extinction of the human race.

Grab your friends and enter the world of Permafrost with up to four players in cooperative multiplayer or take on the hostile environment all by yourself, just accompanied by your dog as a trusted companion.

Exploration, resourcefulness and the sheer will to survive will help you when you construct intricate shelters, cultivate crops to stave off hunger, and harness the power of technology to fend off threats both human and environmental. Be wary of the sub-zero temperatures and the effect they can have on your character’s capabilities, as you fight challenging conditions, hunt elusive prey and utilize salvaged machinery to craft the tools you need to combat the relentless winter.

But don’t wait too long. The closer we get to Permafrost’s release date set for later this year, the higher the chances that access to the demo will be discontinued.

Get ready to experience a modern post-apocalyptic setting, combining intricate resource management with deep survival mechanics, before it is too late.

Tropico 6 – Return to Nature DLC Blossoms this March

Publisher Kalypso Media and developer Realmforge Studios, under the wise and dictatori…uhm…fatherly guidance of El Presidente, are delighted to announce Return to Nature, the latest DLC for the critically acclaimed strategy game Tropico 6. With a helping hand (and a warm smile) from environmentalist Sunny Flowers, transform Tropico into a lush, eco-friendly paradise when the DLC blooms on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PlayStation®4|5 on March 6, 2025, for $12.99.

Tropico 6 – Return to Nature introduces 15 new nature-themed buildings that seamlessly blend innovation with environmental harmony, perfectly aligned with Sunny Flowers’ green vision. From the Forest School fostering eco-conscious education to the Outdoor Gym promoting sustainable fitness, these additions enhance your island’s development in an eco-friendly way.

Alongside this, the DLC includes the brand-new scenario mission El Árbol De Maravilla. In this tutorial-like mission, green revolutionaries team up with El Prez, Penultimo, and Sunny Flowers to nurture the Biggdrasil—a magical world wonder and another new building that enhances agriculture, strengthens the wood industry, or boosts economy and diplomacy across four eras. While the scenario sets the stage, the true focus of Return to Nature lies in its extensive architectural expansion, offering fresh opportunities to build a greener Tropico.

Sunny Flowers also embraces Tropico’s new Nature Value, a system that rewards eco-conscious planning. Planting trees or utilizing the Biggdrasil increases the Nature Value, which in turn boosts the efficiency of some new buildings, depending on the level of Nature Value. The DLC also implements three new edicts to further Tropico’s eco-renaissance, a nature-themed suit, and four scenic Biggdrasil statues for the palace garden.

Tropico 6 – Return to Nature will be available March 6, 2025, on PC, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and PlayStation 4|5, and will cost $12.99.
