Melpot Studio has just released the first trailer for their highly anticipated figure skating simulation game, ICE on the Edge, scheduled for release on PC via Steam in 2026. This groundbreaking game combines stunning anime-inspired visuals with realistic, intricately designed skating choreography, crafted in collaboration with professional figure skaters.
