“ We don’t want to reveal the exact release date yet, but I can say that the game should be out in the summer,” says lead designer Kuba Stokalski.
Whether you’re an enlightened ruler or an iron-fisted tyrant, you’ll discover choices in this world aren’t as easy as they seem, and that holding power over people has a cost as heavy as the responsibility you feel in caring for them.Īccording to 11 Bit Studios, this version of Frostpunk is focusing “on a smooth transition to consoles, great efforts are being taken to re-design the game and adjust its mechanics for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, especially when it comes to controls”.ġ1 bit studios still have some work to do but are close to the finish line, creating an intuitive interface allowing gameplay to feel natural even when playing with a controller. As the leader of possibly the last civilized society on Earth, you’re going to build the city your survivors live in, discover new technologies, explore frozen wastelands and most importantly, manage and rule society to prepare it for life in an unforgiving world. Offering players a complex strategic challenge alongside a rich narrative featuring an alternative take on the 19th-century industrial revolution, Frostpunk weaves a story of how our planet mysteriously freezes, putting an end to civilization as we know it and forcing the human race to adapt to the harsh conditions. 11 Bit Studios will bring its frozen post-apocalypse later in the year, so here’s a trailer and some flavour text to set the mood.

Its mechanics are streamlined enough to be easy to grasp, but it’s tension and demanding nature make it an apocalyptic experience you shouldn’t skip.ĭoes the idea of playing a strategy game on PC make you retch more than me when I’m exposed to custard? Well good news! Because Frostpunk is coming to PS4 and Xbox One. Back in 2018, here’s what Sandy had to say about it:įrostpunk is an ingenious blend of city building systems and morally ambiguous decision making. YOU’LL SEE! Even though it was a digital revolt, Frostpunk still managed to leave quite an imprint on me.
That’s why the populace rose up against me when I proposed that children genuinely were our greatest resource and tried using them as fuel for the furnaces. Are you the leader that the remnants of humanity needs? Can you make the hardest decision when you realise that the needs of the many outweigh those of the few?īecause I certainly wasn’t. You find yourself in charge of a small community, people who are desperate for leadership in an apocalypse that has left them frostbitten and cold. But most importantly, it adds a new layer that is present in many aspects of the game - be it politics, society or technological progress - the conflict between humans and their nature”.It’s the end of the world. Frostpunk 2 builds on the conflicts of its predecessor - survival vs human values, life vs the arctic frost. What players should expect is a wide universe of choices, the freedom to shape the society and the city however they see fit - and reap the consequences. With a still-growing team of nearly 70 people, we have more manpower available to focus on all aspects of the game from the scale, the production value, and the quality of UX, but our ambition is to do more than a straight-up sequel. “What we aim to deliver to players is an experience that goes vastly beyond that of the original Frostpunk. Jakub Stokalski, Frostpunk 2 Co-Director, had this to say about the grand vision of the game: However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction.ĭemands and expectations of various factions will raise tensions and evoke conflicts, but will a cold-blooded rule and a Machiavellian approach to politics be necessary? As the everlasting cold continues its grip on the city and outside threats arise, you’ll need to make sure your people are united, driven, and ready for difficult, unavoidable sacrifices! 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.
You play as the leader of a resource-hungry metropolis where the expansion and search for new sources of power is an unavoidable reality. Its successor takes place 30 years after the apocalyptic blizzard storm, and Earth is still overwhelmed by the icy climate of neverending frost and harsh weather. Frostpunk 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed, BAFTA-nominated society survival game that blended city building, strategy and management gameplay, creating a brand new genre.
