Stay Alive, Stay Sane in Winter Survival, Out Now via Steam Early Access 

Kraków, Poland – Mar. 6th, 2024 – Winter Survival, the story-driven, sanity-testing sandbox survival game from developer DRAGO entertainment, braves the frigid unknown on PC via Steam Early Access today.

Brace for blistering winds in a harrowing tale of man versus nature. An adventurous hike with friends descends into a nightmare when a starving bear attacks the unsuspecting group. Separated from the troop, adapt to the ways of the wilderness, or perish at the claws of bloodthirsty beasts and merciless Mother Nature. 

Explore the barren winter wasteland and an abandoned town in search of shelter, and defend against the debilitating cold with crackling campfires. Scrounge up menial meals to keep hunger pangs at bay, and scour snowbanks for materials to craft makeshift tools. Become stronger, faster, and smarter by honing hunting skills, building sturdy structures, and fending off sickness and starvation.

Cobble together knives, spears, and traps to defend against prowling wolves, untamed boars, and the ever-ravenous bear. Stealthily maneuver behind fallen trees or rotting sheds to track roaming wildlife and avoid dangerous situations. Under unrelenting conditions like fatigue, stress, and isolation, sanity starts to fray. Treat wounds, satisfy physical needs, and keep fear at bay to protect the mind from succumbing to horrific hallucinations.

Three distinct game modes allow wilderness enthusiasts to play at any pace. Learn more about the abandoned town in Story Mode, face the ultimate test of survival skills in Endless Mode, or battle never ending blizzards in Coldwave Mode, launching one week from today.

“We are grateful to every single player that took the time to try Winter Survival’s previous demos – Steam Next Fest allowed our talented team to connect with so many amazing people,”  said Joanna Tynor, CEO at DRAGO entertainment. “Feedback throughout Early Access will help us make the wonderfully wicked winter sandbox we’ve always wanted to make, and fans have always wanted to play.” 

Winter Survival is available today on PC via Steam Early Access for $24.99 USD, with console versions planned for the future. For more information, wishlist the game on Steam and follow DRAGO entertainment on Twitter and Facebook for updates.

Classified: France ‘44 is out now on PS5 and XSX

Communication intercepted, authorised personnel only – the enemy is vulnerable and Classified: France ‘44 is out now

Absolutely Games’ WWII strategy epic has landed on PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X

Sydney, Australia – 6th March 2024 – Absolutely Games and Team17 Digital have launched WWII-based strategy epic Classified: France ‘44 on PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X. An original take on the turn-based tactics genre, Classified: France ’44 authentically captures the challenges of World War II firefights, shining a light on a lesser known story. Players will take charge of the Jedburghs: a group of special forces dropped deep in the heart of Nazi-occupied France, working with the Resistance to disrupt and sabotage enemy forces in the lead up to D-Day.

Check out the trailer below:

James Brooksby, CEO, Absolutely Games, said: “The whole team at Absolutely Games are thrilled to finally share Classified: France ’44 with the world. We set out to create our own unique take on the turn-based tactical genre, one that told the story of the nascent special forces and brave resistance fighters working heroically behind enemy lines, causing as much disruption and mayhem in the lead up to D-Day as possible. Our hope is that we achieved that and more – that what we created in Classified: France ’44 is an ambitious game that authentically mixes tactical stealth, intense firefights, strategic campaign, a wide range of characters, and unique mechanics for players to enjoy for years to come”.

Key Features

  • Unique morale system: Every shot counts. Even if it misses, fire wears down enemy forces’ morale and can turn the tide in the heat of battle
  • Tactical stealth action: Infiltrate enemy positions; set up ambushes, and choose your overwatch targets wisely. Friendly fire can shape the battlefield, so position your squad and pick your marks carefully
  • Engaging and replayable campaign: Define the success of the historic ‘D-Day’ battle with a replayable campaign with 15 different endings. Form a specialist team, court the Resistance factions and aid them in building their strength, and make decisions that lead to game-changing outcomes.
  • Historically authentic gameplay: Mirroring real-world military tactics, missions are a thrilling, varied experience. Use your tactical toolbox of stealth, ambush, morale and flanking to outwit the enemy and aid the Resistance.
  • The Classified System: Built on the ‘Classified System’ players can access in-game tools to create their own missions to share with the community.

About Absolutely Games
Formed in late-2019 by industry veterans, each with over 25 years’ experience, Absolutely Games is set to be a new giant in strategy and tactical video games. Consisting of 20 talented developers and with a focus on a strong vision, culture, and belief in excellence, the studio prides itself on developing evolutionary, high-quality gaming experiences for PC and consoles.
