If you've never played Frostpunk and would like to see what it's all about, it can be played for free on Steam this weekend, from August 12 to 16. Behind him are a bank of oil pumpjacks, indicating the change from coal to oil as the focus of Frostpunk 2's resource management layer.įrostpunk 2 will be available on Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store, and can be wishlisted now. 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”.Ī new cinematic trailer reminds us all of the brutal methods of survival and society that was seen in the original, with a man left to freeze to death beyond the city limits, his chest painted in blood with the word 'liar'. 'Frostpunk 2 builds on the conflicts of its predecessor - survival vs human values, life vs the arctic frost. Click the upper right corner to see it full-sized.“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,' said Frostpunk 2's co-director, Jakub Stokalski, in a press release. A version for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 was released back in July and currently, on Steam, there is a free weekend for the game to celebrate the announcement of the sequel. And below is a newspaper from Frostpunk 2 filling in a bit more information about the world and who, exactly, that fellow frozen in the snow is in the trailer. As an added bonus to accompany the announcement, you can try the original Frostpunk for free on Steam from August 12-16.

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. From the designer of Nemesis and story creator. I would say that it's going to be somewhat different in tone from the original.' A city-survival, cooperative game for 1-4 players where heat means life and every decision comes at a cost. So I would say that the overall themes of the game are not going to be all beds of roses. However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction. And again, what will happen next, this is the big question. Frostpunk 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed, BAFTA-nominated society survival game that blended city building, strategy and management gameplay, creating a brand new genre. '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. this game however is currently 75 off on epic, gog and fanatical games. And not only you, but society as a whole.' 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. 'I would say Frostpunk 2 is going to be about what happens when you actually survive the unsurvivable. Frostpunk 2 is the sequel to the highly acclaimed, BAFTA-nominated society survival game that blended city building, strategy and management gameplay, creating a brand new genre. 'The question really becomes, what's next?' said Stokalski.
