Snow Panic, an 8-Player 'SSX Meets Mario Kart' Skiing Game, Announced for PC

Snow Panic, an upcoming eight-player online skiing game, has been announced by developer KAFI. The game combines elements of SSX and Mario Kart, promising fast-paced, competitive races with a variety of obstacles. KAFI describes it as being like SSX meets Mario Kart, with players racing downhill and the first to reach the bottom emerging victorious.

The game will be available for PC and will feature bots to fill in if there aren't enough human players. The focus is on the race, with hazards such as bullets, rockets, airstrikes, mines, and even an exploding goat adding to the challenge. KAFI emphasizes that every hit results in a ragdoll crash, making each collision a potential highlight of the race.

Snow Panic will debut with six mountains to race on, with additional locations planned for future updates. Proximity voice chat is included, allowing players to hear their friends scream as they tumble down the mountain. The game will offer 14 weapons and items at launch, and players can customize their skier's appearance, including hair, outfits, and skis.

Interested players can wishlist Snow Panic on Steam to stay updated on its development.
