Frozen Cortex is out next Thursday

Good news: you no longer have to visit a fortune teller or hack into Mode 7's brains to learn the release date of their turn-based tactical sports game Frozen Cortex, as they've just announced that's it's coming Thursday 19th February. Hey, that's next week!

News this exciting should be accompanied by a trailer featuring some new game footage and a bit where one of the developers larks around in a field before zooming in on a cat. Such a thing is located above, thank goodness. Frozen Cortex recently received a giant single-player update, and I'd imagine it'll be getting a similarly sizeable update next Thursday, when Valve's Early Access Marshall bangs the big release gong that turns unfinished games into complete ones. Theoretically, at any rate.

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
