Frostpunk 2 cools down its release, now coming in September
11 Bit Studios have announced that Frostpunk 2, which was set to release in late July, will now release in September in order to address issues raised by players from the recent beta.
The full statement around the delay can be found here but a part is below, but the game will now release on September 20th, giving the team another 2 months to address issues they want to.
“Based on the surveys we received after playing Beta, the average rating you gave us was 8 out of 10. We’re super grateful for that! At the same time, it was only a small slice of a work-in-progress, still-growing game. While our backlog is plentiful, it was an opportunity for us to listen to what you enjoyed, and what didn’t quite land yet. This allowed us to prioritise things better, and bring upfront the features and modifications we were already working on. But we also realised that to guarantee the best possible experience on launch, we need more time to finish the development of Frostpunk 2. That’s why we made the difficult decision to postpone its release to September 20th, 2024””
Delays are never fun for those awaiting a games release, but the extra time should help make it much better, so it is something we all understand.
So as of today, Frostpunk 2 will release onto PC on September 24, 2024.
