FROSTPUNK 2 and 11 BIT STUDIOS are all trademarks and/or registered trademarks of 11 BIT STUDIOS S.A. 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”.Ģ021 © 11 BIT STUDIOS S.A. 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.

#WHEN DOES FROSTPUNK 2 COME OUT PLUS#
According to Stokalski, it's still "pretty early in development."īut there's a plus side as you consider there might be a long wait to get your hands on Frostpunk 2. I can say that while oil is definitely the big actor, the ultimate hero and antihero remains the society, right? For us, Frostpunk 2 is still going to be a society survival game, just interpreted in a different way than the original."ġ1 Bit Studios hasn't announced a release date or even a year for Frostpunk 2. "I cannot talk very specifically about the role and how the society will play out around this. "We don't want to just make a bigger game, right? We want to make a broader game in terms of keeping to the themes in Frostpunk 1 but telling more about different aspects of the biggest enemy out there, which is human nature."Īs far as how the mad scramble for oil will come into play and how it will shape your society in Frostpunk 2, he was pretty tight-lipped. Stokalski also said the scope and scale of Frostpunk 2 is bigger than the original, but not just in physical size. I would say that it's going to be somewhat different in tone from the original." So I would say that the overall themes of the game are not going to be all beds of roses. And again, what will happen next, this is the big question. "And Frostpunk 2, in this sense, is actually a post-apocalyptic game, in a way. And in this sense it was doom and gloom and everything worse and worse all around. "But I would say that it's interesting, because internally with Łukasz Juszczyk, my co-director and co-partner in crime, we often talk about Frostpunk was really an apocalyptic game, right? It took place in the time that basically everything was going to shit. "If you know our last two games, hope is not very high on our themes list," Stokalski said, laughing. I asked about the planet itself, and if it's still getting colder or if the climate is recovering and steering toward a warmer and potentially more hopeful future. And not only you, but society as a whole." "I would say Frostpunk 2 is going to be about what happens when you actually survive the unsurvivable. this game however is currently 75 off on epic, gog and fanatical games. "The question really becomes, what's next?" said Stokalski.
