For the many who played 11 Bit Studio’s 2018 city-builder, Frostpunk, you may remember just how great (and stressful) it is, as it was a game that put players to the test through an unwavering storm while trying to ensure the survival of their city. Well, it seems all that effort paid off in the end, as 30 years later, the city managed to survive in the sequel. Though based on the debut gameplay trailer of Frostpunk 2, it seems that there will be even more tension, as the city is at war with itself.

About Frostpunk 2

“As a Steward in Frostpunk 2, you will oversee an ever-growing metropolis and be required to carefully weigh the needs and demands of its society. Your people are concerned with the fate of their children and crimes on the streets. They complain about unhealthy squalor, escalated by industrial growth, but need places to work. And what if you cannot afford to reward their toil with food and shelter or take care of their health? You can’t please everyone and when radical factions start rising, it only takes a tiny spark for the boiling tension to blow cal up.”

Based on the gameplay trailer, Frostpunk 2 is really going to be pushing the limits of a city-builder when it comes to its story. I’m sure fans are going to be putting in hundreds of stressful, painstaking hours in the sequel, and like in the original, it’ll all be worth it.

Frostpunk 2 will arrive in the first half of 2024. It will be available as a standalone purchase, as well as a day one PC Game Pass title, and later on Xbox Series X|S.
