Frostpunk 2 to be released in 2024: A new era
Finally, the release window for Frostpunk 2, the sequel to the award-winning survival city-building game, has been announced at the PC Gaming Show 2023. Thirty years have passed since the events of the first game, and the world has changed dramatically due to years of snowfall. In Frostpunk 2, we are facing an era of possible expansion, although life-sustaining supplies are running low and rebellion is looming.
The new trailer gives us a glimpse into this dark world, where snow, frost, and cold continue to play a central role. The huge heat generator tower is also visible, serving as the only source of heat and energy for a city. Crude oil seems to play a key role in Frostpunk 2, as it is repeatedly mentioned throughout the trailer.
What's New and Challenging in Frostpunk 2
Over the past thirty years, the city has not only grown in size but also in its abilities and technology: the streets are now illuminated with electric light strips instead of open flames, and wooden planks have been replaced with paved stone paths. In some scenes, elevated metal walkways or highways can even be seen, presumably used for transporting oil.
The uprising of the population in the trailer, where firebombs are thrown, is also noticeable. Jakyb Stokalski, Co-Director and Design Director at 11 Bit Studios, confirms that players in Frostpunk 2 will face new threats that go beyond mere survival from the first game.
Pre-order and Wishlist
Frostpunk 2 is set to release in 2024 and can already be added to your wishlist on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.com. An exact date or month has not been announced yet.
