Fogpiercer is set to launch on July 17, 2026, on PC via Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Store, and will be available on Xbox and PC Game Pass from day one.
Publisher Hooded Horse and developer Mad Cookies Studio set a July 17 release date for the deck-building roguelite Fogpiercer on PC. The game will be available on Steam, GOG, and the Microsoft Store, and it will be included in Xbox and PC Game Pass from day one. Set in a frozen post-apocalyptic world covered in lethal fog, players command a train carrying survivors and fight bandits in turn-based battles on a grid. Combat uses a deck of over 170 action cards, with effects that can push enemies into obstacles, off cliffs, or cause friendly fire.
Players choose a driver, locomotive, and freight cars, each with unique stats and starting decks. After battles, scrap is used to repair and upgrade the train at stations. The game began as a 2022 game jam project. A demo with Japanese text support is available now on Steam.
Microsoft later confirmed Fogpiercer as one of 10 titles coming to Game Pass between July 9 and 21, 2026, listing it as a day-one new release alongside Ascend to Zero. The inclusion gives the indie title a potentially larger initial audience through the subscription service.
