Stay warm, ~ 11 bit studios teamFrostpunk 2 | City Unbound Ep. 9 - The Heat, The Pit and The SerenityMay 12, 2025 - Community AnnouncementsWatch new special episode of “City Unbound”, where you will find more about some new features that arrived in the latest update. Epic whiteouts, mass migration As we all know, Frostpunk 2 can be a challenging game. Since its premiere, we’ve received a lot of feedback from you on what could be improved to make it even harder. That’s why in the upcoming patch, we’ve introduced a few new challenges to the game, like epic whiteouts that will take some time to pass. There’s also a recurring migration crisis that will force you to find shelter for a constant stream of desperate newcomers. Heat Management System, Serenity mode Of course, just like The Steward of New London, we’re not completely heartless. Apart from new obstacles to tackle, we’ll throw in a few conveniences. The most important one is an advanced heat management system. It will allow you to pinpoint places in your city that need more warmth while at the same time sacrificing other, less demanding districts and buildings. That’s not all, we also have something for those who would like to tackle Frostpunk 2 with less pressure. A new addition called the Serenity Mode, will give a formidable headstart while starting a new game. Abundance of resources as well as toning down the conflicts inside the city will let you familiarize yourself with the game without the need for a rocky start. We hope that they will keep your game interesting while you wait for even more future additions. As we still want to develop the game with our community, you can leave your feedback about new update in the comments. This is always a big hint for us in which direction we should proceed.

Read more Frostpunk 2 gets huge free update, and it feels more like the first gameMay 8, 2025 - PCGamesNFrostpunk 2 is in a bit of an odd state. While promising a survival experience that built upon the already solid, frozen foundations of its predecessor, it's struggled to attract the same numbers as its older sibling. As thousands play Frostpunk, the sequel is barely cresting 500 concurrents, with recent reviews landing it in Steam's 'Mixed' category. But there's an entire roadmap of new material set for release in 2025, with the first major update free to play right now. Reworking temperature and adding a brand-new map to Utopia Builder, now's a great time to strap on your snow shoes and try it out. Read the rest of the story...

Your feedback not only gives us valuable insights into what we can improve, but also sparks new ideas in our creative furnace every day. Without you, it would never have been possible to expand the Frostpunk universe as far as we have today. On top of all the DLCs that await you in the future, we are committed to delivering additional Free Major Content Updates for Frostpunk 2, creating new opportunities for the franchise - just as we did with the Artbook & Anthology Kickstarter, and of course, develop recently announced Frostpunk 1886. Each of these titles has its own dedicated team, pouring heart and effort into every detail. So here’s a message from all of us to you: THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Starting with a redesigned Generator UI for better control and feedback, now you can manage temperature by district, with unique local effects, and consequences when heat is lacking, such as sickness, injuries, or even death. Use the brand-new Heatmap View to visualize district temperature, insulation, heat sources, and proximity bonuses. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41041469/3e45b6f0728c0b9b772ac5dd7e4559e9c5b4f3c2.jpg The changes affect more than just temperature, they also impact your citizens.

I had somehow managed to anger every faction. I fell behind on promises I made to pass laws, and every time I get something done I end up pissing off more people than I impress. In the end, a vote of no confidence that would've certainly seen me stranded in the tundra was the last straw—I haven't been back in over five months...

This branch contains the previous version of the game and is being kept specifically for you - who would like to still play it. One key reason why we decided to create this branch is mod support, as some mods may not be compatible with the upcoming changes in 1.3.0, and give the modders option for a smooth transition between these two updates.

Both titles will continue to evolve side by side, offering players diverse and engaging gameplay experiences. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/e9fbb08adc7e5451d4f6c3b8ab58577a41a9dfd6.png Looking back into the future As our internal Liquid Engine, that the first game was created on, is no longer in development, we’ve been looking for other ways to further expand upon Frostpunk for years now. When working on Frostpunk 2 in Unreal Engine 5, the limitations of our own Engine became that much more apparent but it also made us realize we could finally go back to when it all began – the moment the Great Storm came over New London in 1886. With that in mind, we’re extremely excited to announce that we’ve already started development on a new Frostpunk project – one that recreates the experience of the original game in UE. That is also why we went for Frostpunk 1886. Let us know what you think about it in the comments! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/e9fbb08adc7e5451d4f6c3b8ab58577a41a9dfd6.png What are we aiming for? Our goal is to expand upon it with improved visuals, higher resolution, and all the other possibilities Unreal has to offer. Something that could be a great introduction to the world of Frostpunk for newcomers, but also a title that die-hard fans of the game would love to play on repeat. We don't want to simply recreate the first game in a new engine – it’s to build upon the original experience. That’s why we plan to implement tons of new content, new mechanics, new events, technologies, and buildings – all with the aim of creating new ways to shape your society, including a completely new Purpose path in addition to the existing Faith and Order paths. UE also gives us the opportunity to expand upon the world of the first Frostpunk with completely new content in the future, such as DLCs. Additionally, something you've been requesting for years will soon be possible: mod support. We know how long you’ve been requesting it, and we couldn’t be happier to finally make it happen! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/30442987/e9fbb08adc7e5451d4f6c3b8ab58577a41a9dfd6.png Legacy we are proud of We don’t want to change the core premise of the game – the survival of the people of New London – but rather to recreate that experience with an even greater focus on the elements that made it meaningful in the first place. While respecting the legacy of Frostpunk, we’re confident the new additions will only enrich the experience for fans and newcomers alike. Now, we don’t want to leave you hanging without something more concrete – so here it is: we’re committed to ...A new Frostpunk game is coming 'as early as 2027' after Frostpunk 2 spearheaded the 'highest sales in the company's history'Apr 22, 2025 - PC Gamer2024 was a good year for 11 Bit Studios.

In pursuit of greater foresight, our vigilant expeditionists have charted a course through the treacherous frostland. As fresh intelligence reaches us, we are pleased to provide an update on their tireless endeavors. The road ahead Most notably, through meticulous observation, our scouts have refined their estimations of when the waypoints—previously marked on the map—might be reached. Though the icy vastness remains unforgiving and whiteouts ever unpredictable, they now anticipate key milestones aligning with the changing seasons. These are as follows: May 8th - A day to be remembered: a Free Major Content Update that will adjust the City’s management, paying homage to the order established by the first New Londoners. Summer – A grand undertaking: the Console Port. Autumn – Reaching the Spectrum DLC, which may help us learn more about ourselves and the people of our great city in more ways than one… Moreover, scouts report that the arrival of Spring shall bring significant developments for the people of New London. They have also urged the Administration to observe a day of reflection on April 24th, in honor of the seventh anniversary of our first great expedition—an endeavor once guided by a departed leader of unwavering resolve. May light forever grace their steadfast soul. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41041469/b8cecff6d5ad0dabcaef2cecf33a9ba62ef9e35b.jpg Our thanks As ever, the Administration owes its strength not merely to those who govern but to you, the citizens who shape our course.
