@LightzOut83 We built Fatal Frontier for the generation that grew up when gameplay was king. The focus is on risk, challenge, and the kind of stories that stick with you long after the run ends. 😎
From a co-creator of World of Warcraft comes a new kind of PC game.
Become a Pioneer in 19th Century Alaska. Explore. Prospect. Survive.
The gold you’ll find is real, but so is the danger.
Our team members are veterans of Blizzard when the Auction House drama played out - lots of lessons learned. Our team watched from the sidelines, bemused, as nonsensical Web3 games popped up during the 2020/2021 era, only to scam-implode and die. We have watched and learned and, as PC gamers ourselves, created a game we would be prepared to play with and for real money. So far, our player feedback has been really positive. Visit our website and check the reviews or Install and try it yourself, we give everyone $65 free to get started on the Frontier!
@Cicctastic We've seen a wide range of outcomes. Some players have withdrawn gold worth thousands of dollars over the course of a month, while others prefer to cash out smaller amounts every few days. It really depends on how you play the game.
There isn't really a reliable "$X per week" answer 🙂
Results vary based on skill, play style, strategy, and risk. The value players put into claims comes back into the game through gold grains worth real money - we don't take a cut from claims.
The game isn't designed to be a job or side hustle. The (optional) real-money layer is there to make the frontier more exciting with players having skin in the game.
One million gold grains.
That’s how much real gold value pioneers have extracted from the Frontier so far.
Every expedition, every close call, every perfect strike - it all adds up.
Some struck it rich. Others froze, bled, or got eaten trying.
The Frontier keeps taking.
But it keeps rewarding too.
The gold is real. The danger is real.
And we’re only getting started.

@American4ev Guilty as charged.
We deliberately leaned into an old-school style. Fatal Frontier is built for players who remember when games were more about challenge, risk, and memorable stories than ray tracing. 😎
Because of the real-money (cash-in / cash-out) aspects of the game, we're distributing Fatal Frontier through our own launcher rather than platforms like Steam.
We'd love to be where players are, but the real-money layer creates some unique challenges that don't fit every platform's policies (and fees). :)
@vap0r1@drizzydru2 Real money prospecting requires an active prospector's pass. :)
You can find more info on how the game works in the FAQ section on https://t.co/8lsnpiZmDD.
That's quite literally not how it works. ;)
Claims are used to mine for gold during an Expedition. Each Claim gives you another chance to prospect down to bedrock and search for gold.
Money spent on Claims is not a source of profit for the Company. It is put toward the cost of paying real US dollars to Pioneers who find, extract, and cash out gold from the frontier.
Gold is not manually placed by the Company and Claim purchases do not enter a player prize pool. Instead, Fatal Frontier 1869 uses software to procedurally generate each Expedition and bury gold across the virtual Alaskan landscape in deposits, veins, and clusters down at bedrock. Where the gold is found depends on the generated frontier and where Pioneers choose to dig.
Since launch, Pioneers have extracted substantially more real-money gold from the frontier than they have spent buying Claims.
The Company principally makes money from selling timed-duration Prospecting Passes, which give players access to prospecting for a set period of time.
@WhiteRoofer@45_6C_6F_6E Every time you set out on an Expedition the Frontier landscape is brand new, with all gold buried in advance of you starting play. You are searching for gold that already exists. The gold doesn't "move".
@45_6C_6F_6E We actually considered this initially, but upon death (i.e. unsuccessful extraction) - you get to keep the Gold Grains you found (and you can withdraw them). You will lose the XP you've earned with your pioneer and your pioneer will enter a 15 min cooldown period.

@45_6C_6F_6E@WhiteRoofer The game does not mine for crypto currency. It's simply a skill-based game with real money stakes - USD. 🧐
No NFTs, Web 3.0, crypto stuff etc.
@45_6C_6F_6E@WhiteRoofer Nope, there's no such thing as a backend mining program. You can find more on how the game works here: https://t.co/IgMuLI1Zyy
Gotcha. Every time you set out on an expedition the frontier landscape is brand new, with all gold buried in advance of you starting play. Nothing appears because you dug in the “right spot” at the “right time”. You are searching for gold that already exists. Each landscape will be different for each and every Expedition, but the gold placement is static once you enter a specific map.
Bears. Bandits. Blizzards.
The Alaska Gold Rush wasn't meant to be easy.
Survive the wilderness, build your pioneer, and hunt for gold worth real money.
