“With SNOW we wanted to provide players and winter sports enthusiasts with an authentic experience. Skiing is all about freedom, creativity and exploration, and SNOW delivers exactly that! We’ve removed all of the restrictions and clutter that we traditionally see in action sports games and with SNOW; allow players to approach the game the way they want”, said Alexander Bergendahl, CEO and Game Director at Poppermost Productions.
SNOW also offers an extensive character customization system where players can equip their riders with over 140 products from over a dozen of the biggest brands in winter sports, which have partnered with Poppermost to offer players the most popular products available from the most recent season; the team will update the contents of the catalogue continuously.
SNOW is powered by CryENGINE, which is known for its high production values and breathtaking graphics. “CryENGINE was a natural choice for us. We wanted to deliver a game with stunning visuals that would support our vision of an open-world. Crytek’s game technology is extremely powerful and really helps us create the world of our dreams”, said Alexander Bergendahl.
SNOW is currently available on Steam Early Access in an Alpha state and will move into Beta next year as a fully-featured free-to-play game. SNOW will then include additional content and features like snowboarding and online multiplayer. Players who have purchased the Early Access version of SNOW will be rewarded with exclusive content when the game comes out in its free-to-play form next year.
