Today marks the release of Silent North, a VR zombie survival game that just landed on Quest and Steam in early access alpha. Brought to you by Combat Waffle Studios, the team behind Ghosts of Tabor and GRIM, and published by Beyond Frames Entertainment, this new game immerses players in an intense PvPvE setting high in the Alpine wilderness. Here, survival means more than just staying alive against the undead—you’ll also contend with fellow survivors in a harsh environment where resources are scarce.
In Silent North, players will need to juggle essential needs like food and warmth with the constant hunt for supplies scattered across various villages. Deciding whether to team up with other players or go it alone adds another layer of strategy, and the presence of a dynamic day-and-night cycle ups the ante. Use the cover of night to your advantage for stealthy maneuvers, or take advantage of daylight to spot threats from a distance.
The release of Silent North follows closely on the heels of the early access alpha for GRIM, another VR survival title with a multiplayer sandbox environment inspired by Rust. GRIM brings a gritty fight for resources after an ill-fated attempt at Mars colonization and has now progressed to beta, thanks to numerous updates since its launch. This game is a collaborative effort between Spoonfed Interactive and Combat Waffle Studios.
Silent North is now available on Quest and Steam for those eager to dive into its challenging world.
