Anime-Inspired Figure Skating Game 'ICE on the Edge' Launched

Melpot Studio has just released the first tantalizing trailer for their much-anticipated figure skating simulation game, ICE on the Edge, slated to launch on PC via Steam in 2026. This groundbreaking title is set to dazzle players with its fusion of vibrant, anime-inspired visuals and meticulously crafted, lifelike skating choreography, all developed in close collaboration with professional figure skaters.

Your mission involves crafting intricate performance routines, selecting the perfect music, designing stunning costumes, and choosing the most impactful technical elements. Your ultimate aim is to lead your skaters to triumph at the esteemed, fictional competition known as On the Edge. The game's choreography benefits from the expertise of renowned Japanese figure skater Akiko Suzuki, who previously lent her skills to the anime series Medalist.

However, they immersed themselves in the sport, learning everything from the subtle differences between various jumps to the complexities of the scoring system. Their dedication ensures that ICE on the Edge offers an authentic and deeply immersive experience for players.

With its unique blend of anime artistry and realistic skating mechanics, ICE on the Edge is poised to captivate both gaming enthusiasts and figure skating aficionados. Whether you're a fan of the sport or simply love engaging simulations, this game promises an unparalleled experience on the ice.
