Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, the side-scrolling zombie survival game from developer and publisher PikPok with more than 450,000 wishlists, arrives on PC via Steam Early Access on Wednesday, April 9, 2025, and game keys will be available soon.
Set against the backdrop of a scorching Texas summer in 1980, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days challenges survivors with taking on scavenging missions for valuable resources, scouring for potential escape routes out of the city, and staying alive one more day in a world overrun with zombies.
Choose whether you can afford to show compassion to potential allies or erstwhile rivals amid a desperate struggle for limited resources… or if you can bear the cost to your humanity instead.
Developer SpaceRocket Games and publisher Toplitz Productions are excited to present a new trailer for Permafrost, their acclaimed take on the survival game genre. The video premiered at last night’s Future Games Show and showcases some of the dangers that you as one of the few survivors face after a cataclysmic event. Known only as the ‘Shattering’, the lunar catastrophe engulfed the whole planet under a thick coat of snow and ice as well as constant sub-zero temperatures.
Fend for yourself, only accompanied by your trusted four-legged friend, who doesn’t leave your side. Or grab a few companions and explore the icy open world from wilderness to remainders of once vibrant city life, now covered under a destructive and dangerous white coat of Permafrost’s snow, with a team of up to four in cooperative multiplayer.
Utilize the scarce resources that will help you build essential shelter, set traps or construct tools vital for your survival. Maybe you have what it takes to save humanity’s future before you succumb to the big freeze. Forge your own path, band together to rebuild society or try to survive alone in the unforgiving environment.
Permafrost will launch for PC in Early Access on Steam this Summer and will be playable both single player and in cooperative multiplayer for up to four participants. Visit the official Steam product page to stay updated on all the latest info and join the discussion on Discord.

Today, Remedy Entertainment unveiled a new gameplay trailer for FBC: Firebreak, a three-player co-op FPS where the Federal Bureau of Control’s first-response unit must contain an escalating paranatural threat.
When the Oldest House, the Bureau’s shifting headquarters, falls under siege by a relentless paranatural force, only Firebreak – its most adaptable response unit – has the skills and courage to restore order.
Launching in summer 2025, FBC: Firebreak is Remedy Entertainment’s first self-published game and will be available on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A mid-priced title, FBC: Firebreak will also be available day one via PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium).
FBC: Firebreak is a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience set within the acclaimed Control universe, delivering intense cooperative action. The game features highly replayable missions known as Jobs, each uniquely designed with different challenges, objectives, and environments that require teamwork and adaptability.
The latest trailer showcases one such Job, Paper Chase, where an outbreak of rogue sticky notes in the Executive Sector of the Oldest House – seemingly harmless at first – spirals into a full-blown paranatural crisis. Players must push through three escalating zones, culminating in a chaotic showdown against a towering, gargantuan manifestation of these anomalies.
Before diving into a Job, players choose their Crisis Kit. Crisis Kits shape each Firebreaker’s playstyle, providing distinct weapons, tools, and powerful reality-bending augments that can turn the tide of a mission.
Jump Kit – Focused on electricity-based abilities, excelling in field control and mobility.
Fix Kit – A heavy-hitting kit built around impact-based attacks, including a massive wrench.
Splash Kit – A water-based kit specializing in manipulating battlefield conditions and supporting teammates.
Remedy will continue expanding FBC: Firebreak with post-launch content. All future playable content, including new Jobs, will be free. Players will have the option to purchase cosmetics, but none of these items will affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins. More details will be shared in the future.
Remedy will host a special community AMA on the FBC: Firebreak Steam page on March 31 at 9 AM PST / 5 PM GMT / 7 PM EET, offering fans a chance to learn more about the game, its systems, and future plans.

Explorers can enter the abyss solo or venture in with up to 3 friends in co-op.
