Press release:
London, United Kingdom – Tuesday December 10th.
Today publisher Chucklefish and independent developers Gaziter and Deadpan Games release critically acclaimed “Wildfrost” to purchase and play on Xbox One, Series S/X and Microsoft Store. Also available day 1 on Xbox and PC Games Pass.

Players will embark on an extraordinary journey across a stark, frozen landscape, in a quest to reclaim a world taken over by the Wildfrost. Armed with a dynamic deck of delightful companions and potent elemental items, players will navigate frosty peril, with only the small settlement of Snowdwell and its tenacious survivors standing against an unending winter. Success hinges on strategic prowess and adept deck-building in this epic battle to relinquish the icy grip of the Wildfrost.

As the adventure unfolds, players will have the opportunity to recruit cute, but brutal card companions, bestowing them with enchanting wobbly charms to bolster their abilities. After each expedition, return to Snowdwell to restore the town, unlock additional cards, and face new, exciting challenges and events. As a roguelike, there’s boundless replayability, offering a fresh adventure with every playthrough.

Wildfrost Features:

A perfect mix of deckbuilding and adventure. Wildfrost lets players test card their battling skills as they fight to save the village of Snowdwell.

Multiple, unique ‘leaders’ from a variety of different tribes at the beginning of each journey, each gifted with different randomised stats and skills.
