The Forever Winter Hotfix Solves Bugs, Economy Woes, and More

We have no shortage of extraction shooters in the current year, with more to come as the genre booms with each passing month. But some prove more unique than others. One such unique take on the genre is The Forever Winter. It’s a brutal, futuristic world in which you’re a scavenger vying for scraps. Thanks to the hard work of developer Fun Dog, The Forever Winter improves with each hotfix!
