BORDEAUX, France – April 16, 2026 – Frostrail, the brutal co-op survival FPS with over 300,000 wishlists from Barotrauma developer FakeFish and publisher Shiro Unlimited (Wartales, over 1 million units sold), launched its first-ever public playtest today. To access the playtest, sign up on the Frostrail Steam page.
Step aboard a steam-powered train and venture into a world frozen by a cataclysmic event, alone or with allies in online co-op. Struggle to survive an endless winter of deadly blizzards and sub-zero temperatures as you scavenge abandoned locations from derelict shelters to underground ruins, in search of vital resources.
Face not only the cold, but also the relentless Revenants, twisted remnants of the dead that haunt the frozen wasteland. Engage in intense combat using a mix of melee weapons and firearms, hold your ground against the undead, and fight to see another day.
Frostrail’s playtest provides survivors with a harrowing slice of its survival gameplay loop:
- Explore three deadly zones, including the tutorial and two additional areas
- Operate and maintain your train, keeping it fueled and ready to push forward
- Learn the fundamentals of survival: scavenging, recycling, and crafting early equipment
- Engage in brutal combat, battling against Revenants and raiding early-game dungeons for valuable loot
The Frostrail playtest is now available on Steam. Frostrail will launch in Early Access later in 2026, with support for English, French, German, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Simplified Chinese.
