Toplitz Productions and SpaceRocket Games have launched the survival sandbox game Permafrost in Steam Early Access on October 9, 2026. Set in an ice world after the moon shattered, it drops constant gunfire and fantasy elements for survival built on silence and scarcity. Solo and online co-op for up to four players are supported. A rescued dog scouts, warns of danger, and carries luggage.
The launch slipped by several hours to fold in feedback and crash reports from a second playtest that ran until October 6, 2026. The pre-release patch covered movement key rebinding, performance, co-op, and localization fixes. The initial build already includes biomes, items, building and crafting recipes, and side quests. A commemorative sale runs until October 24, 2026, with the base game at 20 percent off for 2,239 yen, and DLC such as an official guidebook, cookbook, and novel are available on their Steam store pages with Japanese support listed.
