Ghosts of Tabor studio Combat Waffle is nearing launch of Silent North, the studio’s next VR shooter that promises plenty of multiplayer zombie survival action, with Quest and Steam early access launches planned for sometime in March.

Published by Beyond Frames Entertainment, Silent North brings you high up in the Swiss Alps, forcing players to hunker down and survive a world not only overrun by zombies, but also your fellow man, who has a damnable penchant for killing and looting (just like you).

That said, players can team up or go it solo while scavenging for gear and defending against a “never-ending supply of hungry corpses,” the studio says.

“Littered with PVPVE action, players will not be able to escape an encounter with players, or the infected,” the game’s description reads. “Whether you’re in the mountains or in the plains. Experience intense adrenaline pumping firefights to stay alive, or prey on your enemies to survive in the wilds. But tread carefully, there may be other players hiding and waiting to strike on you.”

Silent North has now launched pre-orders on Horizon Store, priced at $17—a 15% discount from its $20 launch price. Starting today, it’s also available to wishlist on Steam, which will include a 15% discount at launch.

While launching into early access in March via Steam and the Horizon Store, the studio hasn’t announced when it’s coming to other target VR platforms, which includes PSVR 2 and Pico headsets.


Update (February 21st, 2024): The studio has clarified that the release is planned for March, but a specific date is not yet set in stone.

  • Oh goodie! Another VR zombie game. How original and fresh.

    • Peter vasseur

      Yeah zombie games are super tired.

    • NL_VR

      No this isn't just another zombie game.
      this is supposed to be like DayZ.
      eventually

      • So it’s not just like another zombie game, it’s JUST like another zombie game. You’re not helping the cause there, chum.

        • NL_VR

          Then you need to specify what just another zombie game means, chum.
          For me just another zombie game = Arizona Sunshine
          A survival pvpve game that has zombies in in is not just another zombie game.

          • Is it a video game? Does it have zombies in it? It’s not a difficult.

          • NL_VR

            No its not but with that logic all games are just another "insert what type of game you currently played" (maybe to much)

    • KennyStetson

      The reason we have so many VR zombie games is that good enemy AI is difficult to implement. With zombies you get a free pass because Zombies are supposed to be dumb. Given that VR is not very profitable at all, Zombies is the way to go for small studios

      • I didn’t ask for an explanation.

  • Peter vasseur

    Still waiting on the psvr2 port of ghost of tabor. Of course I could get it on steam. But yeah not a priority.
