KAFI Announces Snow Panic, an Eight-Player Skiing Game for PC

Developer KAFI has announced Snow Panic, an eight-player arcade-style online skiing game in development for PC. The announcement was reported by IGN on November 6, 2026, at 3:00 PM UTC.

Game Details

One of the developers describes Snow Panic as being like "SSX meets Mario Kart." It is a downhill skiing game that will always feature competition, with bots filling in if there are not enough human players in a match. The only rule in the downhill race is that the first one to reach the bottom wins.

Obstacles include bullets, rockets, and "suspiciously aggressive wildlife." The developers also mention airstrikes, mines, and a literal exploding goat as other hazards. IGN notes that the game is not about cocaine.

Launch Content

At launch, Snow Panic will feature six mountains to race on, with more promised in post-release updates. There are 14 total weapons and items available at launch. Players can customize their skier's hair, outfits, and skis.

Gameplay Features

Every hit is a full ragdoll crash, and every crash is somebody's favorite clip, according to KAFI. The game also features proximity voice chat. The team notes, "What's the point of blowing up your friends if you can't hear them scream as they fall into a ravine?"

Snow Panic is available to wishlist on Steam.
