Developer Ice Code Games, renowned for titles like Hard West II and Rogue Waters, has unveiled their latest project, Nightmare Frontier. This game combines tactical turn-based strategy with the thrill of an extraction looter, drawing inspiration from classics like XCOM and Hunt: Showdown, with a unique twist of Cthulhu-inspired horror. The announcement trailer and the first set of screenshots provide a glimpse into this chilling new world. Check out the trailer above and explore the gallery below to see the initial visuals.

Set in an alternate 19th-century America, Nightmare Frontier unfolds shortly after a mysterious event that blurs the line between reality and a nightmarish dimension. The aftermath of this event leaves the streets teeming with monstrous creatures known as Dreadweavers, manifestations of humanity's deepest fears. As the ringleader, players will navigate this terrifying new reality, leading a team of scavengers into the heart of the city to uncover the truth behind the Nightmare and to scavenge for essential loot that could mean the difference between survival and oblivion.
