Arctic Awakening Hits PS5 September 18: Explore a Frozen Mystery

Developer GoldFire Studios has announced that Arctic Awakening will release on September 18 for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.

Check out the game’s description:

A first-person narrative adventure set in the unforgiving Arctic. After crashing during a storm, only your court-determined therapy bot Alfie remains as you journey to find your copilot and uncover mysteries buried beneath the ice.

Arctic Awakening is a first-person narrative adventure in the Arctic North where you and your robotic companion, Alfie, must search for your copilot and unravel lurking mysteries.

It should’ve been routine. A supply run to an Alaskan town, autopilot engaged, watching the monitors. You and Donovan were already planning post-mission drinks when disaster struck.

The storm.

Half the plane vanished in a blink. Donovan – gone, lost in the howling blizzard. Waking from the crash, you’re stranded in frozen wilderness with only a court-mandated therapy bot and bone-shattering cold as companions. Survival hinges on finding your friend—and maybe a way home.

You’re Kai, a pilot without a plane lost in the Far North. You’ll need every ounce of grit to brave the elements, locate your copilot, and escape alive. Along the way, you might discover what sheared your aircraft apart… and what makes those noises at twilight.

Hard-Won Comradeship

Arctic Awakening is a narrative-driven adventure where your choices impact those around you. Actions will reshape companionships and potentially alter your story’s outcome.

Lost… And Found

Explore vast landscapes and hidden sci-fi structures to unlock surrounding secrets. Investigate your copilot’s disappearance, uncover the catastrophe’s origin, and—just maybe—find your path home.

You’re Not Alone
