While the road ahead of Frostpunk 2 is filled with Free Major Content Updates, a console launch, and DLCs – and we’re extremely excited to show you in what ways our grand strategy / society survival game can still surprise you – we’ve also always wanted to continue our work on the city-builder survival experience that is Frostpunk 1. Both titles will continue to evolve side by side, offering players diverse and engaging gameplay experiences.



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!





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!



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 releasing the game in 2027. Having games developed by us release more often than once every 5+ years is one of the ambitious changes we’ve taken upon ourselves – and this title is the first step toward making that happen.

For now, we’re leaving you with a tease (which we hope piqued your interest!) – but you can expect more info, including the game’s title, a first look at gameplay, and behind-the-scenes content, in the second half of the year as work on the game progresses.

Remember. The City Must...

Hello Citizens,

Today our beloved Frostpunk is celebrating its 6th anniversary. That means that the game's now old enough to cover its first emergency shift in the coal mine.

Here are 6 facts highlighting those 6 years:

1. Around 3% of the players have over 100 hours on their record.
   
2. On average, people play the game for 24 hours.
   
3. More than half managed to save every person in Frostland playing The New Home scenario.
   
4. The most popular track from the Frostpunk OST is "The City Must Survive". It's been played over 6.4 million times on Spotify and over 1.3 million times on YouTube.
   
5. The rarest achievement, unlocked by only 0.6% of Steam players is "Endless slave driver". It's unlocked when you make all other settlements distrustful towards you in Endless Mode.
   
6. Over 5 million copies of Frostpunk across all platforms have been sold so far.

Very soon you'll be able to play Frostpunk 2. So far the game has gathered over 2 million wishlists and we couldn't be more proud and grateful for all this support.

🏆 As part of the celebration, we're running a contest on Twitter in which you can win a copy of Frostpunk 2. Full rules HERE.
