The game puts players in control of a post-apocalyptic city that's trying to survive the freezing temperatures brought on by a volcanic winter. The original Frostpunk was a runaway success for Warsaw-based 11 Bit Studios, selling 1.4 million copies in its first year. As promised in the teaser video from last June, today's announcement reveals one of the three games that 11 Bit is currently working on, and Frostpunk 2 is perhaps the least surprising of them all. In addition to the big reveal, you can try the original Frostpunk for free on Steam for a limited time during this coming weekend between August 12th and 16th.įrostpunk 2 is coming to PC ( Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG).Frostpunk 2 is on the way, according to developer 11 Bit Studios. But most importantly, it adds a new layer that is present in many aspects of the game - be it politics, be it society, be it technological progress - the conflict between humans and their nature”.įrostpunk 2 is the first project to be revealed from the three in-house games that are currently being developed at the Warsaw-based company. Frostpunk 2 builds on the conflicts of its predecessor - survival vs human values, life vs the arctic frost. Jakub also shares his grand vision for Frostpunk 2: “What players should expect is a wide universe of choices, freedom to shape the society and the city however they see fit - and reap the consequences. What we aim to deliver to players is an experience that goes vastly beyond that of the original Frostpunk,” states Jakub Stokalski, Frostpunk 2 Co-Director. Our ambition is to do more than a straight-up sequel. “We have more manpower available to focus on all aspects of the game from the scale, the production value, to the quality of UX. With the ever-growing team responsible for the first game, which is now nearly 70 people strong, the sequel will bring a much bigger scope to the table. However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction. After the age of coal, conquering Frostland for the oil extraction industry is expected to be the new salvation of what’s left of humanity.
