The sequel to the highly acclaimed post-apocalyptic survival game, Frostpunk 2, has been officially announced by 11 Bit Studios. This is the first of three games in development that have been revealed by the Polish developer.
The first game in the series Frostpunk is currently free on Steam for a limited time this weekend, giving you the perfect opportunity to try out this brutal survival game.
Check out the Frostpunk 2 announcement trailer below:
The sequel begins with the same task of surviving as the leader of a starving metropolis, forcing you to look for expansion and search for newer resources for power. However, unlike the first game where coal was the main source, the Frostland is now about the extraction of oil for the new salvation of humanity, or whatever is left of it. Change is never easy, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will be happy in this new direction.
Jakub Stokalski, Frostpunk 2 Co-Director had this to say,
We have more manpower available to focus on all aspects of the game from the scale, the production value, to the quality of UX. 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.
What players should expect is a wide universe of choices, freedom to shape the society and the city however they see fit – and reap the consequences. Frostpunk 2 builds on the conflicts of its predecessor – survival vs human values, life vs the arctic frost. But most importantly, it adds a new layer that is present in many aspects of the game – be it politics, be it society, be it technological progress – the conflict between humans and their nature.
When it was released on PC back in 2018, Frostpunk became an instant hit. The game was then released on consoles a year later, receiving tons of free additional content and three paid expansions over the years. The game has crossed 3 million copies sold when it reached its three-year anniversary back in April 2021.
