Evaluation

Silent North launched into Early Access alpha on April 8, 2025. Combat Waffle Studios shipped updates at a rapid pace in the weeks following launch: a hotfix on April 11, further hotfixes on April 23, a notable content patch (Patch 0.2, introducing cooking, zombie loot drops, and new UI) on May 12, 2025, and additional hotfixes through May 28, 2025. However, the last known developer communication of any kind was on May 28, 2025. As of September 17, 2026 — nearly 16 months later — there have been no further patch notes, blog posts, or official updates visible on Steam. The game remains versioned at 0.2.x, far short of a 1.0 release, with no announced completion roadmap. The prior update cadence was measured in weeks, making 16 months of silence deeply anomalous. The game is still purchasable on Steam and retains its Early Access designation. The developer has not announced any studio closure, project cancellation, or completion of development. Buyers should be aware that it is currently unclear whether active development is continuing, has been quietly suspended, or the project has been abandoned without announcement.

About this game

Players must survive the north using anything at their disposal. You can fight as a lone wolf in the wild or with friends in a home. Every encounter can change the outcome of your journey in the North. From fierce battles for resources to alliances, adaptability and resilience are important in this ever-changing landscape, where fate hangs on your ability to survive and the unpredictable forces of Nature and the Infected.

In the Swiss Alps, survival means scavenging gear from villages, like damaged clothes. Gather resources to keep yourself alive, or battling foes for superior equipment. For the boldest, venturing into quarantined zones yields invaluable loot. Gear up and adapt to survive.

Littered with PVPVE action, players will not be able to escape an encounter with players, or the infected. Whether you're in the mountains or in the plains. Experience intense adrenaline pumping firefights to stay alive, or prey on your enemies to survive in the wilds. But tread carefully, there may be other players hiding and waiting to strike on you. Always peek over your shoulder.

In the Swiss Alps, survival means facing the Infected and other players. Gathering resources is essential for sustaining basic needs like food, water, and warmth amidst constant danger. Adaptation and resilience are key to surviving over these challenges.

Stay Frosty within the Silent North
