ICE on the Edge: A New Figure Skating Simulation Game from Melpot Studio
Coming to PC via Steam in 2026 — where artistry meets athleticism on the ice.
Melpot Studio has unveiled the first official trailer for ICE on the Edge, a groundbreaking figure skating simulation game that fuses breathtaking anime-inspired visuals with meticulously researched, real-world skating mechanics. Set to launch in 2026, the game promises to redefine how players experience the grace, precision, and emotion of competitive figure skating.
As a coach, you’ll guide a team of rising skaters from raw talent to Olympic glory, shaping every aspect of their journey. From crafting intricate routines choreographed to your chosen soundtrack, to selecting the perfect costume and mastering technical elements like triple axels, quad toe loops, and fluid spiral sequences, ICE on the Edge places full creative and strategic control in your hands.
But authenticity is at the heart of the experience. Melpot Studio collaborated with legendary Japanese figure skater Akiko Suzuki, a former World Champion and cultural icon in the sport, who contributed her deep expertise to ensure that every jump, edge, and spin feels true to life. Her involvement, which also includes prior work on the acclaimed anime Medalist, brings a cinematic authenticity that resonates with both fans and professionals.
The development team, despite having no prior background in figure skating, dedicated years to mastering the sport. They studied ice dynamics, competitive scoring systems (including ISU regulations), and the nuances of edge control and timing. This obsessive attention to detail results in a simulation that doesn't just look beautiful — it feels like skating.
With its dreamlike anime aesthetic, dramatic camera angles, and responsive physics engine, ICE on the Edge offers more than just gameplay — it delivers an emotional journey. Witness the quiet focus before a jump, the electric crowd roar as a program reaches its climax, and the bittersweet poignancy of a near-perfect performance.
Whether you're a long-time fan of figure skating, a lover of anime, or simply drawn to games that blend artistry with realism, ICE on the Edge promises to be a standout title. Prepare to step onto the ice, not just as a player — but as a creator, mentor, and visionary.
Ice. Emotion. Legacy.
