Kraków, Poland – Sept. 18, 2025 – Winter Survival, the unrelenting, story-driven survival game from developer DRAGO Entertainment, is gearing up for its thrilling final act, as well as the completion of Early Access on PC via Steam.

Act III marks the completion of Danny’s journey through the brutal wilderness and Winter Survival’s time in Early Access. This final act adds new armors and weapons, among which is a firearm now, new mechanics like the fishing minigame, and a number of major quality of life enhancements. A revamped Act I and II provides a whole new experience for players who may want to revisit previous challenges.
Endure against all odds after a group of friends are unexpectedly separated during a wilderness hike, that rapidly turns into a waking nightmare, when they are attacked by a starving bear. Navigate unforgiving terrain and bloodthirsty beasts while foraging for food and finding shelter far from the safety of civilization.
Fashion makeshift tools and use them to cobble together weapons, armors, defenses and housing,, build traps to hunt wild game, and to stay warm as the unforgiving cold of a deadly blizzard approaches. Fight off ravenous wolves, aggressive wild boars, and a maneating bear while exploring an abandoned town and discovering what happened to its former inhabitants - often through Danny’s disturbing nightmares.
Act III adds loads of new content for Story Mode, in addition to major enhancements for Winter Survival’s two challenge modes. In the fully customizable Survival Mode, uncover a brand new area, and newly introduced features like the flintlock and beaver, new crafting recipes, and an eerie marshal to contend with. Act III also marks the beginning of Season 2 of Cold Wave: face new challenges in the midst of ceaseless blizzards in an all-out fight for survival.
“We are beyond excited about what’s in store for players in Act III,” said Joanna Tynor, CEO at DRAGO Entertainment. “We’ve been listening closely to our community throughout Early Access, and we hope that we meet their expectations and that they are going to be happy to see.”
The team has also produced a series of developer diaries, with episode one available now. Technical Director, Ian Likovnik, as well as Art Director, Marek Zaranski, come together in a deep dive on the inspirations and concept behind Winter Survival, and how the game’s vision was ultimately brought to life.
Winter Survival exits Early Access into 1.0 release on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 on PC via Steam for $18.99 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.
