Get a first glimpse at Frostpunk 2’s gameplay!
11 bit studios is excited to reveal the first comprehensive glimpse of gameplay in Frostpunk 2, following a teaser presented in the PC Gaming Show Most Wanted showcase in November. Serving as a highly-anticipated sequel to 11 bit studios’ original city-builder, which garnered acclaim for its adept combination of strategic gameplay and a compelling, evolving narrative, Frostpunk 2 is slated for release next year. The game continues to focus on the story of a community grappling with challenging realities. In the game, some individuals hold more influential roles than others, reflecting the complexities of life. However, in the pursuit of ensuring the sustainability and survival of your city, such power offers little respite.
As a Steward in Frostpunk 2, players’ roles involve overseeing a growing metropolis and carefully balancing the needs and demands of its society. Citizens express concerns about the well-being of their children, rising crime rates, and the adverse effects of industrial growth on living conditions. The challenge lies in providing employment opportunities while addressing issues of squalor. Balancing the allocation of resources for food, shelter, and healthcare becomes a complex task, especially when faced with the emergence of radical factions that can spark tension to a boiling point. Set thirty years after the Great Storm, the era of tyranny has concluded. Delegates now have the power to vote, influenced or not, to enact laws that align with the will of the people and shape the city’s future. Throughout this tumultuous journey, the mantra resonates in everyone’s minds: The City must not fall. Frostpunk 2 is scheduled for launch on PC in the first half of 2024 and will be available on day one with PC Game Pass. It will later be released on Xbox Series X|S with Xbox Game Pass. Additional Game Pass offerings from 11 bit studios’ portfolio will be revealed at a later date.
