![]() ![]() Instead of coal and steam machines, which were the main driving forces behind your settlements in the first game, in Frostpunk 2 it's all about oil, a shiny new resource that is now the main source of energy in the game. People are still living in a frozen wasteland and things are not getting better anytime soon, but society has adapted and learned how to use new resources in order to bolster their chances for survival. Yet, New London has survived and even made some progress. (Picture: 11 bit studios)įrostpunk 2 is set 30 years after the events at the end of the campaign in the first game when the huge apocalyptic blizzard abruptly ended the story mode. Frostpunk 2 story and setting In Frostpunk 2, oil has replaced coal. Here's what we currently know about the sequel. ![]() Or otherwise, one small crack in a carefully build society can make the whole city ruined. What keeps Frost punk from being overwhelmingly depressing are the bits of light that shine through the cracks building a tavern for workers to gather and unwind at or setting up a system of faith to give citizens a sense of purpose are imperfect solutions for the looming dread of the Frostpunk universe, but the choice - the sometimes rebellious choice - offered to the player to retain their humanity in the face of doom is what made Frostpunk special, and any sequel that leans into that is bound to be special too.Just like in the first game, as the leader, you will not only manage resources and build a city, you will also need to understand human nature and make sure that everyone in the city is in a good condition, both physically and mentally. Of the many ways Frostpunk sets itself apart from other popular city sim titles like Civilization, perhaps the most striking is the sense that the community is never truly thriving, but merely surviving. A shift to non-renewable, combustible power could have massive implications in a sequel. Finally, the oil in the snow signifies a potentially massive leap forward for Frostpunk's means of production, as the height of industrial innovation in the first game stopped at the steam engine. ![]() The first Frostpunk featured riots that could escalate into violent government overthrows, as well as the option to rule with an iron fist, employing enforcers to beat detractors into submission and killing them if necessary. The choice to focus on an oppressive tone, ethics-based decision making, and resource management in This War of Mine primed 11 Bit Studios to take on the much more ambitious and mechanically complex Frostpunk, a game that tasked players with tackling similar conundrums on a larger scale, four years later. The degree to which the mechanics, tone, and story of the sequel would mirror the first Frostpunk game remains to be seen.įounded in 2010 by former employees of companies like CD Projekt Red, 11 Bit Studios made a name for itself by crafting bleak worlds filled with characters just barely clinging to life and hope. Its most popular title besides Frostpunk is This World of Mine, a side-scroller that saw players weighing the pros and cons of various moral and ethical quandaries in the name of survival. The possible sequel would presumably follow in the footsteps of the 2018 game, taking place in the same post-apocalyptic ice age. Polish game developer 11 Bit Studios teased a potential sequel to its popular and wildly imaginative city-survival game Frostpunk with a barebones teaser trailer.
