'Frostrail' Co-op FPS Launches Steam Playtest!

Survivors, prepare yourselves: the co-op FPS 'Frostrail' is opening its Steam playtest phase on April 16, 2026. Developed by FakeFish, known for Barotrauma, this new title promises a glacial survival experience.

Frostrail plunges us into a post-apocalyptic universe where the cold is as deadly as the creatures that inhabit it. The central concept is intriguing: keeping a steam train moving through frozen landscapes while fending off hordes of Revenants. These undead, corrupted by the frost, add a unique dimension to the usual horror. Exploring hostile environments and crafting equipment will be essential to prolong the agony or, who knows, survival. A proposition that blends management, action, and a good dose of climatic dread.

Behind Frostrail, we find FakeFish, a studio already recognized for its work on Barotrauma. This lineage is far from insignificant. Barotrauma built a solid reputation thanks to its demanding approach to hostile environment survival, its resource management, and its oppressive atmosphere. We can therefore expect Frostrail to inherit this philosophy, offering a deep and uncompromising experience, far from mainstream productions. A guarantee of quality for purists seeking authentic challenges.

The idea of a co-op survival-horror rooted in a moving train, facing frozen undead, is singular enough to capture our attention. FakeFish has proven its ability to create immersive universes and demanding survival mechanics with Barotrauma. If Frostrail manages to balance the frantic FPS action with meticulous train management and equipment crafting, it could well establish itself as a benchmark. The announced intensity and mercilessness are promises we look forward to seeing fulfilled.
