In today’s news post we’ll dip into the heart of post-apocalyptic rivalries and how you can survive the human element in Permafrost.

Rival factions battle for supremacy amidst the icy ruins to build out the narrative in Permafrost, in a world plunged into chaos with civil order now just a memory you have careful choices to make as you endure the harsh realities of the frozen wilderness. In Permafrost you have the ability to go it alone or you can choose to formulate alliances that fit your outlook. Forming alliances affect player progression and adds another layer to the gameplay.

The Moon Cult is one such rival faction you may cross paths with, you’ll see their handy work and how they use icicles to display their unfortunate victims, they are not to be taken lightly.

Will you work alone or look for like-minded souls to forge an alliance with to increase your chances of survival.

Hello Survivors,

We are delighted to share the next step on our development journey with you. We’ve been hard at work at expanding not only the gameplay systems but the world of Permafrost and can reveal the new area “Urban District” to you.

Here you step out of the rural landscape into a city area with apartment buildings, condos and tower blocks.
If you are willing to take the risk and enter this war-torn district with its rivalling factions fighting for supremacy, you will be handsomely rewarded.

But there is no time for sightseeing, even though the transformation from a once vivid area buzzing with the hustle and bustle of city life into a white landscape marked by ice and snow is a beauty to behold. Not to mention the memorable characters you will meet along the way.

Enter the buildings, search for quality tools and blueprints and make sure that you and your four-legged friend survive, Then and only then can you try and bring society together again and overcome the Permafrost.

We can’t wait to tell you more about Permafrost in the weeks and months to come. So, stay tuned, don’t forget to wishlist the game (if you haven’t done so already) and join the discussion on the official Discord server.

A few minutes after you start your Permafrost adventure, your trusty german shepherd will be by your side, ready to make surviving in this harsh world a little easier and a lot more heartwarming.

Your dog is an invaluable part of the adventure. It can carry extra items for you, acting as a trusty pack mule when your inventory fills up. Whether you’re scavenging for resources, hauling loot back to your base, or just want to travel lighter, your canine companion has you covered.

And calling your dog is as easy as blowing a whistle. No matter how far you stray or how treacherous the terrain gets, one sharp sound will have your faithful friend trotting back to your side. It’s a simple mechanic, but one we believe adds a comforting sense of connection as you navigate the icy dangers of Permafrost.

But we’re just getting started. In future updates, your dog’s role will grow even more dynamic. Soon, your companion will be able to warn you of dangers lurking nearby, bring you loot it finds in the environment, help you locate hidden resources, and even guide you through the treacherous landscape.

Our goal is to make the dog not just a tool for survival but a true companion—one that players will bond with as they brave the challenges of Permafrost.


Don't forget to put your dog along with Permafrost on your wishlist!

In Permafrost we’re designing a world forever changed by the ‘shattering’, a world altering natural disaster that has plunged the world into a new ice age where the temperature and overall climate represents a permanent winter.

In designing the game, creating a contrast between the natural wilderness and man-made architecture is also an important aspect to change up tactical play and the game's visual appeal.

Today we wanted to give you a sneak peek at the solar facility. This modern facility complete with damaged and distorted solar panels, was once an active energy generating location which now lies derelict and will be one of many unique places to explore in the game. Check out the shots below.
