The studio shared one of the biggest updates on Frostpunk 1886 during the showcase where Maciej Sulecki, Game Director of Frostpunk 1886, highlighted different areas of focus such as enhancing citizen behavior through improved animations, and motion capture, adding more expressive slices of daily life in New London to deepen emotional resonance, a redesigned lighting system emphasizing the harshness of the Frostland, and upgraded building textures for a more grounded, immersive city.

Keep in mind that we’re still about two years ahead of release, so there is much more on the way.
