Bandai Namco picks up survival game ‘Impact Winter’ for release in 2017

“My name is Jacob Solomon. I’m a survivor on this white wasteland I name The Void. I hope this diary will help anyone if I fail to survive it”. This is a message from Jacob’s diary posted on twitter.com/ishelpcoming.”

Surviving in an unfriendly world is not an easy task (I know this because I live in the burbs and hate my neighbors and their precious fake smiles. Sorry, got sidetracked there for a moment). The good news is rescue will arrive in 30 days. If you’re still alive… BANDAI NAMCO and Mojo Bones today confirm that players will be able to test their survival instincts with IMPACT WINTER in early 2017 on PC for digital distribution. Developed by Mojo Bones, the game will allow players to help Jacob Solomon and his team of 4 survivors to survive the next 30 days in a harsh and winter environment.

In IMPACT WINTER, the push for survival makes each playthrough unique. Helped by Ako-Light, a robotic companion, players will be able to explore the hostile world and find solutions while struggling to stay alive in the freezing atmosphere.

“When Mojo Bones introduced IMPACT WINTER to us, we understood early on that this alternative survival experience, with its distinctive artistic direction will be a unique adventure for players. We’re really pleased to closely work with Mojo Bones on this project as we continue to expand our range of games” said Hervé Hoerdt, VP Mktg & Digital at BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Europe.

“The team here at Mojo Bones are both extremely proud and excited to partner with BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment for the release of IMPACT WINTER” said Stuart Ryall Co-Founder and Designer at Mojo Bones Ltd. “As gamers, we formed Mojo Bones in 2011 with the intention of using our newfound creative freedom to explore and design unique ideas and concepts. IMPACT WINTER represents the most ambitious step along our journey so far; taking inspiration from our favourite games, movies, music and literature in an attempt to build on those influences and create a one-of-a-kind survival adventure.”
