VR Survival Shooter “Silent North” Launches in Early Access Today on Quest and Steam

Today marks the exciting launch of Silent North, a virtual reality zombie survival game from the talented team at Combat Waffle Studios. Known for titles like Ghosts of Tabor and GRIM, the studio has teamed up with Beyond Frames Entertainment to release Silent North on Quest and Steam. Currently in an early access alpha phase, this game takes players to the treacherous Alps for a thrilling PvPvE VR experience.

As you dive into Silent North, you’ll face the dual challenges of surviving a harsh winter landscape and defending against relentless zombies and other players. Success requires you to find sparse resources, all while ensuring your character stays warm and fed. Exploring various villages offers opportunities to scavenge essential supplies, while the smart gamer might choose to forge alliances with fellow survivors. The clever day and night cycle adds depth to your strategy, providing chances to sneak around under the cover of darkness or take advantage of daylight to spot adversaries from a distance.

This new release follows hot on the heels of the early access alpha of GRIM, another engaging project co-developed by Spoonfed Interactive and Combat Waffle Studios. GRIM, taking inspiration from the likes of Rust, challenges players in a VR survival multiplayer sandbox scenario, set against the backdrop of a failed Mars colonization attempt. In a timely development, GRIM has also transitioned into its beta phase with several substantial updates post-launch.

Silent North is available now for early access on Quest and Steam, inviting players to test their mettle in its gripping, snowy world.

Originally scheduled for a March 20 release, this article first appeared on February 21, 2025. Following a minor delay, it was updated on April 8, 2025, to coincide with the game’s official launch.
