What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access provides us with a valuable opportunity to collaborate with our community, gathering feedback and insights to shape the development of Forsaken Frontiers. By involving players early on, we aim to refine the game and its features based on the preferences and suggestions of our dedicated community. This collaborative approach allows us to plan and adapt, ensuring we work towards creating the best possible experience for everyone.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our goal is to transition out of Early Access in approximately 6 months to a year. The specific timeframe will be shaped by the evolving roadmap, which takes into account suggestions and feedback from our community.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is planned to include expanded content, such as new map generations, equipment, loot items, monsters, and community-suggested features. Our focus will also be on refining and polishing the overall experience based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“In the Early Access version of Forsaken Frontiers, players can engage in both single-player and multiplayer co-op experiences, accommodating up to 12 players. Communication is facilitated through proximity voice chat, enhancing coordination and strategy. Interaction with the environment, effective use of equipment, and scavenging for loot are fundamental elements of gameplay. The immersive experience is intensified by a rich array of sounds and volumetric audio. The unforgiving environment is inhabited by enemies that stalk and pose a threat to players. The train serves as a means of transportation to procedurally generated locations, where players can face the dangers, sell loot, or purchase new equipment. Players also have a persistent character that is saved across all sessions. Additionally, the host player's current game progress is automatically saved when quitting or disconnecting.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We anticipate a slight price increase after transitioning out of Early Access to reflect the additional content and improvements made to the game.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to foster a vibrant community-driven development process. Engage with us on Discord and X to actively participate, share insights, and stay informed about the latest developments and community events. Every suggestion, bug report, and discussion is vital in shaping the future of Forsaken Frontiers. Join us on Discord and X to be a key part of this collaborative journey!”

About This Game

In the year 1988, a chilling cataclysm transformed the world into an icy wasteland, claiming the lives of the majority. Now, the surviving few face a new threat—an insurmountable debt, the price of securing their lives aboard the safety of their debtor's train.

12-Player Co-op: Immerse yourself in a gripping cooperative adventure up to 12 players. Explore the frozen unknown, where effective teamwork is paramount for survival.

Proximity Voice Chat: Communicate with other players based on proximity, adding a realistic and immersive layer to your cooperative efforts.

PSX-Inspired Aesthetics: Step into the mesmerizing world of our PSX-inspired aesthetics, blending modern graphics with the nostalgic charm of the 90s era.

Persistent Character: Craft a unique identity with a character that persists across all saves and servers. Your consistent persona ensures a cohesive and personalized experience.

Detailed Eerie Atmosphere: Immerse yourself in the moody atmosphere of Forsaken Frontiers, where the warmth of the train contrasts sharply with the cold desolation beyond its confines.

Procedurally Generated Environments: Navigate vast, ever-changing landscapes across five distinct settings: a sprawling Metro, an eerie Hotel, a labyrinthine Hospital, claustrophobic Maintenance Tunnels, and the secretive Pentagon. Each offers unique challenges, with more environments planned post-launch.

Immersive HUD-Less Design: Immerse yourself fully in the chilling atmosphere without traditional on-screen distractions. UI elements seamlessly integrate into the DataDeck, a wrist computer, enhancing realism and immersion.
