Melpot Studio has just released the first trailer for their highly anticipated figure skating simulation game, ICE on the Edge, scheduled for release on PC via Steam in 2026. This groundbreaking title combines stunning anime-inspired visuals with meticulously crafted, lifelike skating choreography, all developed in close collaboration with professional figure skaters.
In ICE on the Edge, players will take on the role of a coach, guiding their skaters to stardom. Your duties will encompass creating captivating performance routines, selecting the perfect music, designing eye-catching costumes, and choosing the right technical elements. The end goal? Leading your athletes to triumph at the prestigious fictional competition, On the Edge. The game's choreography has been enriched by the expertise of renowned Japanese figure skater Akiko Suzuki, who also lent her skills to the anime series Medalist.
What's truly fascinating is that the developers at Melpot Studio started this project with a limited understanding of figure skating. However, their commitment to authenticity led them to immerse themselves in the sport, learning everything from the subtle differences between various jumps to the complexities of the scoring system. This dedication ensures that ICE on the Edge offers a truly authentic and engaging experience for its players.
With its unique fusion of anime artistry and realistic skating mechanics, ICE on the Edge is poised to enchant both gaming aficionados and figure skating enthusiasts when it hits the shelves in 2026.
