Brave the Cold Frontier in Action-RPG VOIN’s Permafrost Update, Out Today

Slice-and-dice through frostbitten foes in a massive, frozen tundra environment

SEATTLE – June 25, 2025 – VOIN, the hack-and-slash action RPG set in a dark fantasy world from solo developer Nikita Sozidar and publisher tinyBuild, cuts through the cold in the newest update, Permafrost, available now on PC via Steam, as revealed during last month’s tinyBuild Connect.
 
Traverse the frosty snow-capped mountains of The Grimmir Expanse. Explore a massive, level filled with menacing Ice Giants ready to engage in battle. Equip enchanting new weapons capable of tearing enemies to shreds with one mighty swing.
 
Witness as HER call heeds new followers, and test VOIN’s might against the ancient snow giants who have awakened from their slumber. Slay every obstacle that lies ahead, while taking in the breathtaking views beneath an icy horizon. Uncover long-forgotten secrets along the way, and challenge the ultimate boss who resides beneath a brand new dungeon.
 
Power up VOIN with unfathomable new strength by offering soulfruit to the Reflected Tree of Talents in the Hall of Reflection. Access this new character progression system to unlock abilities like sprint for quicker travel or invest in dexterity to avoid enemies’ strikes. Undergo an array of additional quests, keeping track of progress with a journal, and turn the tide of battle with powerful new weapons, and items.
 
“I’m thrilled to bring this frigid take on VOIN to life, and witness how fans tackle the new environment and its distinct challenges,” said solo developer, Nikita Sozidar. “Permafrost is the biggest update yet, filled with the new massive location that’s is 16x times bigger than the previous one, a first glimpse at the quests and story, new weapons, new monsters, and a secret or two to discover.”“
 
VOIN is available today on Windows PC via Steam Early Access for USD 19.99, alongside the newest Permafrost update. The game supports English, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Polish, and Ukrainian languages.
