Back from the cold: Snow War - Multiplayer FPS in Early Access 3rd April 2026!

The Finnish Indie Game Developer Gnomecraft is bringing Snow War to Steam Early Access on April 3rd.

Snow War began as a Half‑Life mod over 20 years ago. The modern standalone version was revived by original creator Teemu Polvi, who has led the project through its long development. Programmer Jan Hartung joined later as the second core developer, with music composed by Atte “Tawsky” Leppänen. During key stages of production, the team also expanded with local developers whose work played an important role in shaping the final game. After six years of development the small team is finally ready to bring snowball fights back to the public.
 
Teemu Polvi, the creator of Snow War, says:

 
"Early Access is only the beginning for us. Snow War has always been a community‑driven idea at heart, and we are excited to continue developing the game together with the players who join us."
 
Snow War is coming to Steam Early Access 3rd April

 
The game will be priced 9,99$ with -30% discount during the release.
