It was nominated as Best Strategy Game at The Game Awards 2018, PC Game of the Year at the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards, and for the best Narrative at the 15th BAFTA. The first game was well-received, especially by critics. “However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction.” Of course, “Frostpunk 2” would not be complete without politics and other societal issues that would make more than just about building a city and gathering resources. “After the age of coal, conquering Frostland for the oil extraction industry is expected to be the new salvation of what’s left of humanity,” the “Frostpunk 2” developer teased. On the game’s official Steam page, the developer confirms that players will still assume the role of a metropolis leader, whose main task is to provide the resource demands of their city. It can be recalled that there was a catastrophic blizzard by the end of the first game, and by the looks of the trailer, it may still have its effects in the in-game world after 30 years.Īside from an icy world, the “Frostpunk 2” teaser also confirms that the main resource to gather in the sequel will be oil. The “Frostpunk 2” announcement trailer shows a little bit of the environment, and it appears to still be covered in ice. The video teaser suggests the sequel may not look too different from how the first title ended. While it may seem like moving forward to a new resource would mean the game’s world would look better, the “Frostpunk 2” trailer shows otherwise. But it provides an eerie preview of the state of the world 30 years after the age of coal mining. The teaser, which runs for a minute and 30 seconds, does not reveal much about the actual gameplay changes in the sequel. 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.The critically-acclaimed city-building survival “Frostpunk” is getting a sequel, officially called “Frostpunk 2.” Aside from gameplay improvements, there is also a development in the plot as the second title moves forward from coals to oil.ĭeveloper 11 Bit Studios announced the development of “Frostpunk 2” by releasing its first trailer on Thursday. Luckily, more people now than ever before have the chance to play Frostpunk. Stokalski confirmed that the game is still "pretty early in development" so it will probably be a while until we are able to play the game, yet they want to make the game bigger, but broader in scope and continue the themes of the original game while also exploring more of human nature. Outside this thematic view from the directors and the game's existence, there isn't much more known about the game and it seems that 11 Bit Studios is staying tight-lipped for the time being. I would say that it's going to be somewhat different in tone from the original." "So I would say that the overall themes of the game are not going to be all beds of roses. "What will happen next, this is the big question,'' said Stokalski. The sequel, therefore, is a post-apocalypse game. Speaking to PC Gamer, co-director of Frostpunk 2 Jakub Stokalski talked about how he and his co-director Łukasz Juszczyk internally viewed the original title as an "apocalyptic game." It was a game about the world in the process of falling apart and the scramble to try and get through the collapse.
