The highly anticipated survival shooter Frostrail has achieved a remarkable milestone by surpassing 200,000 wishlists on Steam. Publisher Shiro Unlimited recently celebrated this achievement by releasing a special thank-you teaser, highlighting the tremendous player interest in this unreleased title.

Developed by FakeFish (known for Barotrauma) and published by Shiro Unlimited, Frostrail presents a unique blend of post-apocalyptic survival, first-person shooting, and open-world exploration. The game transports players to a frozen wasteland that was once a mighty empire, now overrun by supernatural horrors after the Emperor's fateful pact with the Void.

Players assume the role of Penitent Gardeners traveling aboard an armored train, tasked with cleansing the cursed land of its monstrous inhabitants. The game's unique premise and atmospheric setting have clearly resonated with players, as evidenced by its impressive wishlist numbers.

The developers first showcased Frostrail through a gameplay trailer in April, revealing stunning snow-covered landscapes, tense exploration sequences, and terrifying creatures. The trailer also hinted at survival mechanics like maintaining body heat and crafting weapons, along with the ability to customize the armored train.

Many observers have noted Frostrail's similarities to Metro Exodus in terms of atmosphere and gameplay. According to the official Steam page, the game is scheduled for Early Access release in 2026, with potential console ports to follow.

The game will support both solo play and cooperative gameplay for up to four players. The developers are considering closed testing phases before launch, possibly including a public beta. This approach reflects FakeFish's commitment to quality, evidenced by Barotrauma's impressive 94% Steam approval rating.
