Backpack Battles x Wildfrost Bundle!
We're thrilled to announce a very special collab with the Backpack Battles team!
If you haven't heard of Backpack Battles yet (where have you been?!), it's an adorable and addictive PvP inventory management auto-battler! Players buy and craft powerful items, then strategically arrange them in their backpacks to outsmart and defeat their foes!
With its cute art, lush soundtrack, and addictive gameplay, it might remind you of a certain frosty favorite!
Not only do we have an amazing bundle on discount for you, but they've also released a cool new update featuring some familiar favorites from Wildfrost!
The latest update brings a bunch of new items, skins, and skills. Keep an eye out for the glamorous Yuki skin available for the Ranger—and yes, her snowball grows too!
We've got a small but MIGHTY announcement for you today. We’ve teamed up with the fantastic Dicefolk dev team to bring you an epic new bundle: ‘Ice & Dice’!
If you’re reading this, chances are you already own Wildfrost (nice one, *fist bump*). But if you’re on the hunt for your next ‘just-one-more-run’ game, look no further! Dicefolk is an incredible tactical roguelite packed with chimera-catching, customizable dice and oodles of loot.
BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE! We've also partnered with the very cool Cobalt Core team to bring another epic bundle: 'Cute but DEADLY'.
Cobalt Core is another moreish deckbuilder, but like Wildfrost, don't be fooled by it's adorable exterior. Cobalt Core packs a punch that'll challenge you again and again!
Both of these bundles will be available for a limited time only, so grab them whilst it’s freshhhhh 😎❄️
Wildfrost Mod Support Storms In!
Hello Snowdwellers!
Before we get started, A reminder that Wildfrost will be 30% off in Chucklefish’s 13th Anniversary Publisher sale from today at 18:00 BST, so there’s no better time to dive in! Don’t dilly dally, as the sale only runs to July 29!
Last update we announced the final Wildfrost update, well… we lied! We have one more surprise for you, with the help of miya_kope and our wonderful discord community, we are excited to announce the game now features official mod support via the Steam workshop!
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1811990/workshop/
Have you ever dreamt of playing Wildfrost with randomized card stats? Googly eyes? Or perhaps adding your own crazy card and charm ideas to the game? Well now you can! The Wildfrost workshop already features over 60 mods created by our amazing community, with many more in the works.
How To Play Mods
Ensure you're updated to v1.2.2 on Steam
Subscribe to the mods you want on Steam Workshop
Select 'Play Wildfrost With Mods' when you launch Wildfrost
Select 'Mods' in the Main Menu
Press the Bell Icon next to the Mod you want to install
PLAY THAT MOD.
For an extended guide on how to access and build mods check the wiki, or join the Wildfrost discord discord and check out the #modding channel to learn about adding your own! There’s loads of exciting developments going on there but we wanted to highlight one in particular…
Mod Spotlight: Snowfall
One of the experiences we want to highlight is Snowfall! It’s a clever mod by a talented team of 5 where you play as the BAD GUYS working their way through to the various biomes in reverse order to take down the Snowdwellers.
‘The Wildfrost is growing more anxious. It knows the adventurers that come to slay its source will never end. There is only one way to ensure the eternal storm...destroying Snowdwell. The Guardian calls upon his minions to storm Snowdwell in retaliation, hoping to bring an end to the last civilization among the snow. Will the Snowdwellers survive the incoming storm? Or will the Wildfrost forever rest upon the land?’
SNOWFALL flips the script and introduces a PLETHORA of new companions, charms, enemies, bosses and items. With companions such as the portly Pebble Hog, or the Spicy Pipper, you’ll no doubt be cooking up new strategies to keep those Snowdwellers snowed under.
Your new foes will have absolutely no chill. With entirely new factions developed for you to fight based off the synergy from the playable cards within the base game, there’s so much to love in this mod. The Cleaving Crowers are also a force to be reckoned with! Though they may fight amongst themselves, their strength is fueled by the loss of their fallen comrades. It's fun to see them in action, but be prepared for an intense battle if you cross their path!
There’s plenty more on the way besides Snowfall so keep a keen eye out in the Wildfrost discord for more magical mods.

Before we dive in, we want to let you know that Wildfrost is currently 30% off on Steam! Plus, we've teamed up with the awesome folks at Playstack and the incredible LocalThunk to bring you the ‘Kind of a BIG DEAL Bundle’.
You can now get both Wildfrost and Balatro at a 10% discount when you purchase them together. Plus, any existing discounts on the base game will be combined with this additional 10% off to complete your set! Balatro is smart, fun, has that ‘just one more run’ quality, and we highly recommend you check it out.
And in true Hooters and Tooters fashion, we've teamed up with Lost in Cult and Black Screen Records to bring you the coolest vinyl featuring all the Wildfrost bops from Paul Zimmerman himself. With an estimated shipping date just next month, if you preorder today you’ll be making sure your future self gets a little treat ✨
Without further ado, we’re going to dive in the shallow end with a sneak peek at a few new cards, so consider this as your 🚨 official spoiler warning 🚨 for everything below.
If you’ve got eyes as sharp as Pootie’s, you probably remember Nova from our key art by Carles, dating all the way back to the Wildfrost launch. Fans have been clamoring for her inclusion, and we’re hyped to announce she’s finally here to kick some serious Pengoon butt!
We also have two new enemy types from two new battles to threaten to put you on ice: The Inky Sacks and Gunk Bugs!
But don’t be fooled by their cute clan names, because these critters will funk up your party if you don’t get your deck in order.
We heard you liked Noomlin Biscuits, so naturally we thought we’d add some Zoomlin Wafers to the mix too!
This delicious treat is only one of several new cards that add the adorable new addition to the game: the Zoomlins, which will let you play a card for free, but only once before they run away!
Last but not least, Balatro’s Jimbo joins the pack! You’ll have to find out how to unlock him, but for now, let's just say a certain short guy, known for his lack of fashion could help you out… 👀
Before you go, we also want to let you know that we’re running a competition for this gorgeous Wildfrost card, handmade by the incredibly talented Pierrot Cards. Check out this Twitter post for more info on how to be in with a chance of winning your very own Big Berry 🍓❤️
That’s all for the moment! Before we go, we just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who’s been a part of our development journey over the last few years. Every like, share, comment, playtest, critique, meme and piece of fan art has made this game what it is today, and we can’t thank you enough. This community is incredible ❤️
Until next time, please let us know what you think either in the comments here, the steam forums or over on Discord where you can also see what we’re up to 👀
Stay Frosty!❄️
New Update Teaser, Mobile OUT NOW, Roadmap Update, Vinyl Tease... & more!
Hey frost fans!
It’s been an entire year since we released Wildfrost on PC and Switch, and what a wild year it’s been!
Since launch we’ve pushed 37 updates, including gameplay patches, extra content and hotfixes, and have no intention of stopping just yet! As you might’ve noticed, we’re now on the final milestone in the roadmap, with a final content update coming soon. We’ll have more news about that soon - keep your eyes peeled!
Wildfrost Mobile OUT NOW!
We also wanted to take a minute to tell you that Wildfrost is OUT NOW on iOS and Android for all your iddy biddy Big Berry needs! Now, you can chase the W from wherever you are, and you don't have to pause just because you left the house!
Keen eyes would've also spotted the new character in the blog thumbnail. It wouldn't be much of an anniversary post if we didn't also give you a teaser of some of the new cards right?! This is just 3 of many more cards to come in the next update. Over the next few weeks we'll be sharing more and more over on Discord, so come join the conversation!
Vinyl Incoming!
Last, but certainly not least... here's an exclusive sneak peak. If, like us, you’ve found yourself bopping along to the battle beats of Wildfrost then you'll be happy to know we have a vinyl in the works with the team at Lost in Cult! Paul Zimmerman's amazing soundtrack will be available to pre-order pretty soon, and if you'd like to keep up to date, sign up to their newsletter here.

Deckbuilders Fest and Wildfrost Mobile!
Wassup card game fans!
Today is the day you finally convince your friend to pick up that cute-but-deadly card game you've been banging on about for almost a year. As part of Deckbuilders Fest Wildfrost is a tasty 20% off until April 1st. But that's not all...
You asked, we listened! Wildfrost will be coming to iOS and Android April 11th for all your iddy biddy Big Berry needs. Now, you can chase the W from wherever you are, and you don't have to pause just because you left the house!
As of midnight local time, you'll be able to pre-order on the iOS App Store so that the game automatically downloads to your device on launch day. We're trying out a cool 'try before you buy' model, which means you can play up until you beat the first boss for free - sort of like the demo we had on Switch and Steam. After that it'll be £/$6.99 to pick up on both iOS & Android. Pretty neat huh!
That's it for now. We'll have a roadmap update coming April 11th, alongside a teaser for the next big content update coming, so keep your eyes peeled for that!
Have a great day!

Unwrapping 'A Storm is Coming' 1.1.0 Update - Out Now!
Hello Wildfrost aficionados, 'tis the season!
To celebrate the holidays, we're excited to present our biggest update for Wildfrost yet. Loaded with powder-fresh features, balance adjustments, and bug fixes. This wouldn't have been possible without our dedicated beta participants opting in and giving us so much feedback to improve the game – you're our true MVPs! With that said, let's dive right in...
In an effort to balance the gameplay, we've lessened the base game difficulty by eliminating aspects like Companion Injuries. The challenge, however, returns (with a vengeance) in our all-new Storm Bell difficulty system! We’ve added 13 unique Storm Bells, each bringing forth its own set of trials; you'll face reduced enemy wave bell encounters, increased shop and Crown prices, even more charm-holding enemies, and a whole bunch of cursed crowns and charms for extra measure.
Each Storm Bell carries a point value, allowing you to handpick the level of challenge you wish to face, and to take on the True Final Boss™, you'll need to amass a certain number of points.
But wait, there’s more! Vanquishes with Storm Bells activated will now unlock glorious Gold card frames to mark your victory, as well as Chiseled frames for those normal wins. We've also rejigged the Daily Voyage, bringing in a random mix of Storm Bells for a more unpredictable challenge. And for those who have been requesting a less flashy gameplay experience, we've added an option to disable the Snow Screen transition in the settings menu.
We’ve also made a whole bunch of balances changes and mechanical updates to cards across the tribe pools for you to check out and let us know what you think.
We recommend looking over the entire changelist found on the Official Wildfrost Wiki in your own time, as it’s such an extensive update.
That’s all for the moment! Please do let us know what you think either in the comments here, the steam forums or over on Discord where you can also see what we’re up to 👀
Game you suck at? We got you...
Hello fellow wanderers!
Your friendly neighbourhood Pilgrim here! As the product lead for Wildfrost, I can tell you: Wildfrost isn't just a game. It's a journey, a challenge, and a sensei all in one. It's the kind of game that motivates you to push beyond your limits, to strategize, (and to rely on a healthy dose of luck from the RNGods) to bag your first win.
Was it frustrating? Yes. Did it make me question my abilities? Absolutely. Did I give up? NEVER! When I finally achieved that long-awaited victory after 10 hours of relentless grinding and strategizing, the sense of accomplishment was *chefs kiss*. It's a taste of triumph that I believe every gamer, despite their skill level, should experience.
So, as we enter the season of the Steam Game Awards, I kindly ask you to cast a vote for Wildfrost in the category of 'Best Game you Suck At'. Let's celebrate the challenge, the struggle, and ultimately, the growth. Nothing says "I am a true gamer" than picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and saying "let's try this again".
Until next time, please enjoy Big Berry's big juicy arms... youtu.be/Hb8rx8ab5cg
Bug Fixes & Storm Bells BETA
Ahoy, Wildfrost Adventurers!
We're back! Will and Gaziter have been working to address various issues and *also*, to bring some challenging new content to Wildfrost for all those veterans looking for even more hardship to sink their teeth into.
Let's dive right into the details.
Version 1.0.7
This update primarily focuses on squashing bugs and refining your gameplay experience. Here are the key changes:
Sorted out the Haze + Smackback issue. No more unexpected surprises!
Fixed the elusive Haze icon in the battle log - it will now appear as expected.
Resolved the error that occurred when using a Barrage Blank Mask.
Frenzy no longer breaks for the remainder of the battle after attacking a Smackback Apply Snow enemy.
Fixed the overlapping of cards when having 6 Companions.
Charm Merchant will now behave properly on touch screens, no more instant buying of charms!
Last but not least, we've optimized the game for 3:2 aspect ratios, ensuring a better visual experience for players.
Version 1.0.8 Beta
The next update will bring a twist to the gameplay, all set to go into beta testing. We're introducing new features that will test your strategy and survival skills with all new additional bells and cursed charms 👻
We’re aiming to reduce the base difficulty by removing things like Companion Injuries and adding that challenge back into the game in the form of Storm Bells.
There are 12 Storm Bells in total to be unlocked, each adding a unique challenge to take your gameplay to the next level. Some add Cursed Charms that you must pick up after each Boss Battle, while others beef up enemies’ abilities.
Each Storm Bell has a point value. You can pick & choose which Storm Bells you want to enable, but you’ll need to have a certain number of points if you want to face off against the True Final Boss.
...Please note that opting into beta replicates your current save file so you'll have access to your main branch unlocks. However, progress made during this beta may not carry over when 1.0.8 launches proper, and opting out will revert back to your 1.0.7 save.
To opt-in: - right click the game in your Steam Library - select Properties... - select the Betas tab - click the Beta Participation dropdown and select the "beta" branch
We're excited to see how these updates enhance your Wildfrost experience! As always, your feedback is invaluable and we encourage you to share your experiences and suggestions as we continue to refine and improve the game. Please feel free to drop comments below or join our brilliant community over on Discord. Happy gaming! 🃏🌨️
