In a short video released this week, Fun Dog Studios revealed that The Forever Winter will get a demo in October so people can check how the game runs on their computers before they buy it.
The developers also talked about some of the concerns that were raised by people after the recent closed beta sessions, stating that while some may see the game’s high difficulty as an issue, it was always intended to be a punishing experience, but that performance should never be a limiting factors for players, so they are working on performance updates, which include implementing DLSS for Nvidia cards and FSR for AMD (presumably for both, since AMD’s upscaling solution is platform-agnostic). Due to the nature of PC gaming, there’s essentially an infinite number of computer configurations, but the devs hope to use the Early Access period to optimize the game as much as possible.
The Forever Winter will hit Steam Early Access tomorrow, September 24th. The game will cost US$27 and there won’t be any way to buy power, which is a breath of fresh air coming from other games in the same genre, which sell bigger secure boxes and other things to entice players to spend real money on ingame benefits.
You’re A Small Fish In A Big Apocalypse.
Scavenge and fight for your next day alive under the shadow of gargantuan war machines. Enemies in the game can literally tower over the battlefield.
War. War Always Changes.
The battlefield is unpredictable thanks to The Forever Winter’s Dynamic Encounter system: enemies have their own goals and agendas, operating in coordinated groups, undertaking full-scale battles — and they’ll intelligently react to your actions. The battlefield you leave won’t be the same one you return to.
Only The Smart Survive – But Guns Help.
Use your wits, stealth, and skilled gunplay to make it out alive. Choose your path in the shadow of the two great superpowers, loot the dead, and make it out alive. While the warring factions may ignore you at first, the more disruptive you become to their goals, the more they’ll seek to remove you from the equation.
A Grim Vision Of The Future.
Ecological collapse compounded by runaway technological advancement brought us here: a world choked by 40 years of industrial-scale violence between two military superpowers, unmerciful mass killing by AI automata, human-machine hybrids, and the bleak truth of human nature. There’s two sides to this war, and you’re not on either.
