In Frostpunk 2 you are once again tasked with playing as the leader of a resource-hungry metropolis where the expansion and search for new sources of power is an unavoidable reality.Thirty years have passed since the vicious storm that concluded the first chapter of humankind's survival story in Frostpunk, Earth is still overwhelmed by the neverending frost and harsh, icy climate. But the apocalyptic world has moved on. 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.
The City, settled around the Generator and its life-giving warmth, grew and progressed as the years ticked on. Years of whiteouts have changed the world, giving it a clean slate with which to write a new post-apocalyptic part of its story. Despite the noose of oppression again starting to tighten on a society that is struggling for life-preserving supplies—and increasingly bothered by inner squabbles after recent events—the world is once again facing an era of possibly prolific expansion.
Most notably, however, people changed. And once they feel like they’ve tamed the frost, and the bonding survival instinct has faded, their human nature will come into play, driven by ambition that could spiral The City into the fall.
However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction.
11 bit studios is excited to reveal that over 1 million souls have now answered the Steward's call and entered the unforgiving Frostland. The Generator hungers, the oil must flow, and our survival hangs in the balance!
THANK YOU, Frostpunk community!
This news comes on the heels of the game's second DLC, Breach of Trust, which introduces players to the city of New Edinburgh and contains all the political tension you can handle. Oh, and a volcano. Yes, there's also a volcano now.
That's it, that's all. 11 bit is genuinely excited to see the second entry in one of their flagship IPs cross such an important milestone, and the team can't wait to show you what else they have in store. Frostpunk 2 isn't done just yet. Stay tuned!
Frostpunk 2 is available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG) and PC Game Pass.
