Frostpunk 2 gets its first gameplay trailer and a release window
11 Bit Studios have revealed the first gameplay for Frostpunk 2, showing off just how demanding things can get in this sequel game, which is set to hit PC first sometime in the first half of the year, with consoles coming later. Check out the trailer below.
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 up.
Thirty years after the Great Storm, the tyranny has ended. The delegates can vote, with or without certain persuasions, to pass laws to fulfil people’s will and steer the entire City into one of many futures.
The game will launch first onto PC sometime in the first half of 2024, when it does it will also be a Day One release into PC Game Pass. The console releases are not given a window, but obviously the second half of 2024 is likely, while PlayStation 5 owners will need to buy the game, Xbox Series X|S Game Pass subscribers can get the game on release day as part of their membership.
