Can you survive the frozen onslaught in Lyra Studio’s brutal roguelike tower defense experience.

27 November, 2025. Indie developer Lyra Studio is excited to announce that FrostBound, the brutal roguelike deck-building tower defense game set in a world swallowed by eternal winter, is launching today on PC via Steam.

Inspired by the harsh conflicts and desperate survival that defined the great battles of fantasy epics like Game of Thrones, FrostBound captures the ruthless tension of holding the line at the edge of the world. Every run becomes a test of strategy, resilience, and resourcefulness as players face endless waves of frost-twisted enemies while racing to build, strengthen, and protect their fortress in the cold.

Survival Challenges: Strategy Amid Ice and Despair
FrostBound challenges players with nine escalating difficulty levels beyond the “Journey” tutorial, ramping up enemy strength and tightening resources while rewarding skilled players with unique buffs and greater loot. High-tier runs feature “Fortification Events” to build defenses and “Beacons” for recruiting epic and elite cards, keeping every run dynamic. Deck management is key. Unlock new card packs, select which to bring into each run, and use “Lock Points” to secure rare cards. A one-click reset makes strategy adjustments easy between runs.

Core Features: Nurture Your Elites, Dominate the Battlefield
FrostBound’s five-card system, Attack, Defence, Skill, Structure, and Elite, spans four factions, giving players deep strategic freedom. Attack Cards target enemies with buffs and damage boosts; Defence Cards summon troops; Skill Cards provide game-changing effects; Structure Cards offer persistent battlefield and resource bonuses; and Elite Cards let players grow leaders into battlefield dominators. Curse Cards add high-risk, high-reward twists, turning setbacks into tactical victories. Every battle feels fresh and strategic.

For Every Strategy Lover: Adaptive, Replayable, Rewarding
Built for lasting engagement, FrostBound combines Adaptive Difficulty, Replayable Challenges, and Achievement Goals. Explore over 500 cards, optimise synergies, and experiment with diverse strategies. Board game fans will love the “13-Day Defence” cycles and random events; roguelike players face shifting battle dynamics; tactics enthusiasts can chain Elite Card combos for explosive results. With randomised events, evolving outcomes, and cross-faction combinations, no two runs are ever the same, rewarding creativity on every playthrough.

Award-Nominated and Already Making an Impact

FrostBound has already turned heads, earning nominations at the 2025 indiePlay China Independent Game Awards for Best Design, and reaching the finals at the 17th Golden Dolphin Awards at the Xiamen International Animation Festival, a testament to its striking art direction, deep systems, and passionate vision.

Play FrostBound Now

Winter is here. FrostBound is available now on Steam, ready for players to defend the remnants of civilization and carve out their own path through the ice.

To mark the year’s end, and to start the holiday celebrations early, we’re pleased to make December’s PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup a special one, with additional bonus titles available to PS Plus members* in select regions.

LEGO Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, Synduality Echo of Ada and Neon White will be available to PlayStation Plus members from Tuesday, 2 December until Monday, 5 January*.

Let’s take a closer look at the games.

LEGO Horizon Adventures | PS5

Join hunter Aloy as she battles to save Earth from an ancient digital demon, and a gang of sunworshippers who want to live in a world without shade so they can soak up the rays while everything burns. Hunt machines on your own as Aloy, or unlock colourful heroes Varl, Teersa, and Erend, and use their unique skills to defeat enemies and overcome challenges. Share the fun with another player online, or via innovative couch co-op on a single screen, so you’re always in the same world together. Need an extra challenge? Replay levels that change to test your skills and unlock new surprises, or check the Mother’s Heart Community Board for ways to help the village. See if you’ve got what it takes to ace every aspect of the game!

Killing Floor 3 | PS5

The next evolution in the first-person action horror franchise, Killing Floor 3 resurrects the gut-churning combat the series is famed for, pitting up to six co-op players against waves of enemies across a variety of maps. Reared and released by the megacorp Horzine, frenzied swarms of bioengineered creatures stalk the streets. The only hope humanity has at stopping them is the rebel faction Nightfall. Their Specialists have honed a unique set of skills and proficiencies to turn the tide, with a multitude of merciless weapons and gadgets that melt through zeds, as well as the new ability to dash and climb across the carnage. Gear up, customise your loadout and get even before what’s left is lost to the darkness. 

The Outlast Trials | PS4, PS5

Red Barrels invites you to experience mind-numbing terror in this first-person psychological survival horror that can be played solo or with up to three other players online. You’ve been abducted by the Murkoff Corporation and trapped inside their facility. Your goal: earn the right to be released back into society. In order to do so, you must complete Trials and MK-Challenges. In pure Outlast fashion, the core gameplay involves avoiding enemies, hiding from them, and trying to run away. Murkoff will provide tools you can use to increase your stealth capabilities, create opportunities to flee, slow down enemies, and more. However, you will have to earn those tools and work hard to improve them. Whatever the number of players in your party, it’s about surviving and getting out.

Synduality Echo of Ada | PS5

Synduality Echo of Ada takes place in 2222, years after a mysterious poisonous rain called The Tears of the New Moon wiped out most of humanity and birthed deformed creatures that now hunt the population. Amidst the calamity, humans are forced to build an underground haven to survive. Take on the role of a Drifter whose goal is to collect the rare resource known as AO Crystals. In your quest, you must collaborate with your artificial intelligence partner to face xenomorphic creatures known as Enders and survive the hazards on the surface. Rise from the underground to a surface world infested with hostile Enders, toxic rains, and other enemies, as you fight to loot for resources. Ride your Cradlecoffin, cooperate with your Magus, and stay alert around other players. One false move is all it takes to lose both your mecha and precious supplies, left to be scavenged by the remaining survivors.

Neon White | PS4, PS5

Neon White is a lightning fast first-person action game about exterminating demons in Heaven. You are White, an assassin handpicked from Hell to compete with other demon slayers for a chance to live permanently in Heaven. The other assassins seem familiar, though… did you know them in a past life? Collect Soul Cards to attack your foes or discard them to use unique movement abilities, and compete for the best times by cleverly combining cards to discover massive shortcuts.
