Greetings, Citizens!

Our community asked and we have listened. We are very excited to confirm that Frostpunk, the first of its kind in strategic gaming is officially coming to consoles. A gritty simulation of society survival in a frozen post-apocalypse, the Bafta-nominated Frostpunk was a bestseller of 2018 and multiple award winner in its genre. Frostpunk: Console Edition is a finely tuned adaptation of the PC hit that will be making its way to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 later this year.

Offering players a complex strategic challenge alongside a rich narrative featuring an alternative take on the 19th-century industrial revolution, Frostpunk weaves a story of how our planet mysteriously freezes, putting an end to civilization as we know it and forcing the human race to adapt to the harsh conditions. As the leader of possibly the last civilized society on Earth, you’re going to build the city your survivors live in, discover new technologies, explore frozen wastelands and most importantly, manage and rule society to prepare it for life in an unforgiving world. Whether you’re an enlightened ruler or an iron-fisted tyrant, you’ll discover choices in this world aren’t as easy as they seem, and that holding power over people has a cost as heavy as the responsibility you feel in caring for them.

Focusing on a smooth transition to consoles, great efforts are being taken to re-design the game and adjust its mechanics for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4, especially when it comes to controls. 11 bit studios still have some work to do but are close to the finish line, creating an intuitive interface allowing gameplay to feel natural even when playing with a controller. “We don’t want to reveal the exact release date yet, but I can say that the game should be out in the summer,” says lead designer Kuba Stokalski.




Frostpunk is a society survival game where heat means life and every decision comes at a price. Presenting complex strategic gameplay, demanding challenges and rich story, Frostpunk extends its unmatched survival experience to consoles. Adapted for consoles with revised controls and adjusted mechanics, Frostpunk: Console Edition allows you to fully test your tactical prowess on the frozen wastelands.

• MAINTAIN HOPE
  Survival is about hope and the will to live. Your ability to spark and maintain these two in your people will be a determinant factor for success.
  
• MAKE THE LAW
  Society is a group of people abiding by the same rules and sharing similar beliefs. Establishing laws and customs will be a crucial factor in shaping your society.
  
• WEIGH YOUR CHOICES
  Will you allow child-labor? How will you treat the sick and wounded? Frostpunk challenges tactical skills while questioning your morality.
  
• EXPLORE
  Expeditions, while risky, can bring you valuable intel, precious supplies and grow your society’s population. There may be people out there, and their fate lies solely in your hands.
  
• PLAY ENDLESSLY
  Endless Mode offers new maps, game modes, mechanics, and allows you to dive into the Frostpunk experience deeper than ever before.

Frostpunk: Console Edition contains all the previous free updates from the PC version, including The Fall of Winterhome scenario, additional customization options, difficulty settings, and balance tweaks. Furthermore, additional content updates are planned for the future.

There has been an unpleasant situation: an irritating bug found last-minute in the code of Frostpunk for Mac OS X. We are heavily focused now on detecting the bug and fixing it. As soon as it happens, the game is going to be ready for Mac computers. It is important to stress out that we want to deliver a highly polished Mac version, instead of rushing out to give you a game that could frustrate you with crashes or framerate drops.

We are fully aware that we've promised the exact release date and it hurts us deeply not to be able to deliver. However, we believe that sacrificing the quality of the game serves no one. Thank you for supporting us so far, for being the best community out there. We hope you can understand the situation and support us once more, during this never-ending Winter.

Hello there, Citizens!

Sometimes, when our engineers are tinkering with the Generator - things go *Boom!*. But thanks to your commitment and feedback we are usually able to track down many issues quickly - and solve them as soon as we can! Thanks for being vigilant, Citizens!

The biggest issue that you've reported and we decided to give it the highest priority is the Blocked Buildings Bug™. This whole thing was correlated to the save files. Luckily, we have been able to address the problem. Here is a breakdown of how things are working:

• Saves from version 1.3.2 or earlier on which no storm has been triggered yet: your game will progress in a normal manner, the bug will not be present at all;
  
• Save from version 1.3.3 created during a storm: the bug will not be present after the hotfix has been applied, you can just carry on;
  
• Save from version 1.3.3 created after the storm (Beacon, Hothouse, Hunter's hut, etc. are inoperable): the normal operation of the facilities is going to be restored after next storm passes. In other words, you just need to survive.

Also, remember - if you encounter any new issues - we've created this email address: techsupport@11bitstudios.com - don't hesitate to use it! Contact us about any bugs/crashes that you notice.

Stay safe, stay warm!

Hello there, Citizens!


In the neverending winter of the late 19th century, humanity’s last survivors are desperately trying to build the foundation of a society capable of surviving the endless deep freeze. In the darkest of times, what they truly need is a little bit of hope — a tiny piece of home in a world far away from the home they remember. The holidays draw near, and the survivors come to you, the leader of this frozen hellscape to ask for ‘A Christmas Carol’ to cheer them up.

In the time since it was announced, Endless Mode is the expansion we have seen the most about of feedback on through the forums, on Twitter, Facebook, and directly by email.

Forged over months at 11 bit studios, it soon goes live and introduces two styles of endless play: “Serenity” for the constructors who enjoy growing the city at their own pace without hard challenges, and “Endurance” for survivalists looking to earn their stripes and see how long they’re able to live in the harsh cold world of Frostpunk.

In both modes, new buildings are introduced to enrich the city’s architecture, including an Archives building that enables players to store lore and information in a single area, new sites can be discovered in the frostland, and new random events that may confront you with previously unknown challenges.
