Oberhaching, Germany, March 14, 2026 – The moon is shattered. The world is frozen. Humanity is clinging to survival against seemingly insurmountable odds. Take on a breathtaking icy world, where every decision means the difference between life and a merciless, cold death.

Developer SpaceRocket Games and publisher Toplitz Productions premiered a fresh video for their upcoming survival sandbox Permafrost at the Future Games Show Spring Showcase, offering a glimpse into the icy heart of the apocalypse waiting for you once Permafrost is released into Early Access later this year.

The clip showcases the dangers you face as a survivor of a cataclysmic event known only as “The Shattering” that covered the entire planet with a thick coat of snow, ice and sub-zero temperatures. Brave the frozen wasteland alone, only accompanied by your loyal dog companion or team up with friends in co-op multiplayer to explore the vast open world with its diverse environments while you try to save humanity. Scavenge the ruins of civilization to forge tools, build and fortify shelters, set traps and craft weapons to outsmart an unforgiving climate that wants you dead.

The trailer also serves as a prelude to the upcoming playtest, where you can try out life in the cold for yourself and help shape the development with your feedback.

Permafrost will launch into Early Access on PC later this year. Head over to the the official Steam product page to wishlist the game and join our Discord to get the latest updates not only for Permafrost but all the exciting titles from Toplitz Productions.
