Frostpunk 2 - Release also on Game Pass

If you're a fan of dystopian survival city builders, hold on tight: Frostpunk 2 is expected to be released in the first half of 2024 and will be available on PC Game Pass from day one.

A first look at the gameplay mechanics

11bit Studios has released a new gameplay trailer for Frostpunk 2, which is over two minutes long and provides the public with a first look at the city management mechanics of the game. This sequel to the popular Frostpunk differs in several ways from its predecessor. While the first game focused on the micromanagement of resources for basic survival, Frostpunk 2's emphasis is on the macromanagement of a city after the apocalypse.

What can players expect in Frostpunk 2?

After an in-depth, hands-off look at the game last year, it became clear that Frostpunk 2 expands its challenges and gameplay systems while maintaining the ethical dilemmas and emphasis on consequences that made the original so great (and depressing).

Release Dates and Availability

The good news for PC gamers: Frostpunk 2 will be initially released on PC, sometime in the first half of 2024. Console players will have to wait a bit longer - the game will also be available on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S at a later date. From the day of its release, Frostpunk 2 will be included in the PC Game Pass. Additionally, the game will be available for purchase on Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Xbox Game Pass subscribers can expect the console version of the game to be added to the service once it becomes available.

Expansion of the Frostpunk Universe

Frostpunk 2 builds upon the foundations of the original game and expands upon them. Players can look forward to an even deeper and more comprehensive experience that encompasses both strategic planning and the management of a post-apocalyptic society. The inclusion of new gameplay elements and a focus on larger, macroeconomic decisions promise a fresh and challenging experience.
