Business Area, gamescom CologneOberhaching, Germany, August 18, 2025 - While the doors to gamescom 2025 in Cologne don’t open before August 20th, Toplitz Production continues their preliminary gamescom festivities with a double-barrel of excitement. Following the release of the showreel last Friday the German publisher proudly unleashes new trailers for Permafrost and Vampires: Bloodlord Rising.
With both titles slated for a release later this year as well as being an integral part of the gamescom activities of Toplitz Productions, the new trailers give you a glimpse into the beautifully crafted worlds and the diverse gameplay that Permafrost and Vampires: Bloodlord Rising have to offer.
Emerging from the shadows, brimming with gothic charme and blood soaked fights, we invite you to dark and broody Sangavia to embrace your dark side as Dragos, clawing your way to power in the open world of this highly anticipated action adventure.
From transforming into a bat to traverse the wide areas of Sangavia’s open world illuminated only by the pale moonlight to bestowing the “Kiss of Eternity” upon unsuspecting villagers, the trailer for Vampires: Bloodlord Rising (developed my Mehuman Games) teases the seductive as well as gruesome choices you have to take as Dragos.
Will you reign with an iron fist, build a towering blood-stained gothic castle, succumb to your instincts and leave drained corpses in your wake? Witness the Bloodlord in fierce hand-to-hand combat against the relentless inquisition and Dragos’ rise to power with the help of his loyal vampire workers.
In the world of Permafrost (developed my SpaceRocket Games) on the other hand, you’d wish for the pale moonlight as you used to know it. For here you are thrown into a post apocalyptic scenario where the moon has been shattered, resulting in a cataclysmic event that covered the Earth in snow, ice and permanent sub-zero temperatures.
To survive in this frosty wasteland, you need to rely on your wits, your instincts and your trusty dog. Or grab your friends in co-op multiplayer and withstand the relentless nature as you try to help rebuild society.
Can you unite the factions vying for control, or will you succumb to the danger they present and become prey? Do you have what it takes to survive in the unforgiving Permafrost?
Both Vampires: Bloodlord Rising as well as Permafrost will be released in Early Access on PC later this year. While the nightwalkers are already confirmed to rise again on October 23 just in time to make your halloween a bloody one, the release date for Permafrost will be announced in the coming weeks. Both games will be shown to media and content creators at Toplitz Productions’ Permafrost cave in Hall 4.1. Booth D-038g - C-029g.
