Super Rare Games, along with Saltstone Studios and Fellow Traveller, have announced that The Pale Beyond will soon be available in physical format for Nintendo Switch. Launching on 9th October 2025, only 3,000 Standard Editions will be produced worldwide, making this a must-have collector’s edition for survival RPG fans.
You didn’t ask to lead this expedition, but when fate hands you the captain’s chair, survival depends on your decisions. Stranded in the ice, with your former captain missing and civilisation far behind, The Pale Beyond challenges you to keep your crew alive in one of the harshest environments imaginable.
A frozen wasteland
Set against a backdrop of stunning yet unforgiving polar landscapes, the game throws you into an expedition where conditions shift without warning. With winter closing in, the choices you make aren’t just tough—they’re the difference between life and death.
Leadership under pressure
When the ship becomes trapped in ice, command falls to you. Managing scarce supplies, maintaining crew morale, and preventing mutiny all become part of the daily struggle. Every vote counts, every tough call shapes the fate of your men, women, and sledge dogs. Survival is never guaranteed.
Soundtrack of survival
It’s not just the snow and silence that immerse you. The Pale Beyond features original compositions, accordion tunes, and sea shanties that evolve dynamically with your journey. The result is a haunting audio experience that underscores both the bleakness and beauty of life in the frozen unknown.
