UNFROST is a co-op horror FPS from indie developer Nord Unit, set in Antarctica and planned for PC via Steam in 2026 with Japanese language support.
Indie developer Nord Unit announced UNFROST in July 2026, a 1-4 player co-op horror FPS set in Antarctica. The game tasks players with investigating ancient monsters called Riftborne, which are immune to conventional weapons. Players must collect samples to expose their weaknesses, then prepare and escape a nuclear strike that destroys them. The game features procedurally generated maps, environmental hazards, and monster reactions that change based on player actions.
The two announcements, both from July 2026, present slightly different details. The earlier story describes a 4-player co-op escape horror FPS with Riftborn creatures and a nuclear strike escape mechanic, while the later story specifies 1-4 player support, calls the monsters Riftborne, and adds that the game includes survival mechanics and unlockable upgrades. The later story also confirms a 2026 release window and Japanese language support, which the earlier story did not specify.
Nord Unit has not announced a specific release date beyond the 2026 window. The game is set to launch on PC via Steam. The two stories agree on the core loop: hunt monsters, find weaknesses, call a nuclear strike, and escape before it hits.
