We are very excited to let you know: Frostpunk DLCs are soon coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4! We've been hinting at this for a while now here and there, and we know you've been waiting for this piece of news - we ourselves can't wait to announce the final premiere date - within Q3 2021!
In the meantime, join us and our Frostpunk Lead Designer, Jakub Stokalski, for the console DLCs showcase, summarizing key plot points for all the additional content soon ready to be played by you all: The Rifts, On The Edge, and The Last Autumn.
About DLCs
The Rifts allows you to experience a new level of challenge on a brand new Endless Mode map, where the land itself threatens your survival. Using a new gameplay mechanic, bridge the rifts to access new areas. Expand the city to save your people from the inevitable doom!
On The Edge tells a story of citizens of New London sent for a special assignment after the Great Storm. Not only does the DLC open a brand new chapter within the Frostpunk universe, it also pits you against new challenges and offers unique mechanics, both in the city and on the Frostland map - further enriching the core experience of our game.
The Last Autumn is a turning point within the Frostpunk universe. Revealing the restless events of Site 113 and its struggle to construct the generator before the freezing veil shrouds the Earth, this prequel expansion broadens the Frostpunk universe by introducing a new environment, new Books of Laws, and unique technologies, and presents a range of new buildings — all of which lets you shape society and the city in unconventional ways.
As said before, all DLCs are coming in Q3 2021, and we look forward to seeing new cities flourish on console. Stay tuned for further news on the topic and check our socials for the newest information!
Hear me, hear me! Citizens of New London and New Manchester, your Captains may now hail not just from PC, Xbox, and Playstation but soon also mobile devices!

We know a lot of you were waiting for this one. We know we took our sweet time with it but the wait is finally over: Frostpunk is out now for macOS and is available on both the Mac App Store and Steam! This much-anticipated macOS version of the game is also available as Frostpunk: Complete Edition, which includes all three expansions.
Check out the launch trailer here: https://youtu.be/P4sSTdwmpl0 “You could say that today the hell freezes over. Delivering Frostpunk to macOS users took us much more time than initially planned. We are grateful for the patience and all the support we got from our community along the way. And we firmly believe that the wait was worth it.” - said Aleksander Kauch, Senior Engineering Lead at 11 bit studios.
Alongside its release on macOS, three expansions are available now as well. Two of the expansions broaden the lore and story of the Frostpunk universe and one adds new features to the game:
The Last Autumn serves as a prequel story, set before New London’s rise told in the base game.
On The Edge continues the story where the original Frostpunk ended.
The Rifts adds a new endless mode map and a new constructible structure - The Bridge.
You can read more about the Season Pass content on its product page.

Today we’d like to share some exciting news about the ongoing Kickstarter campaign for Frostpunk: The Board Game. The campaign was met with an extremely positive reaction from the community and is smashing through the stretch goals like a well-oiled dreadnought! Actually, we have just reached the €1,5M stretch goal! Thank you so much for backing the project! But now, let’s talk about some stellar art, shall we?
We have sent scouts to the Western Carpathians, many have not returned... but those who did manage to bring back this amazing poster by Jakub Różalski:
You've probably already seen his artwork somewhere online - but just for those who have never heard about Jakub - he is also known as Mr. Werewolf. He's an independent concept artist, storyteller & illustrator, and is best known as the creator of the World of 1920+ (Scythe, Iron Harvest). We're fans of his work so it's a dream come true to see his support for Frostpunk: The Board Game.
If you want to learn how you can get this poster and read more about the recent Frostpunk: TBG updates, just click here!
That's not all! To celebrate Digital Tabletop Fest and our Kickstarter success - we have discounted digital version of Frostpunk. You can grab it 66% OFF until the 26th of October! The GOTY Edition is on sale, too - you can grab that one here.
Thank you for supporting the Kickstarter campaign. We really love what Glass Cannon Unplugged team is doing with the tabletop adaptation of Frostpunk - and we are extremely happy that you appreciate that, too! We have two more stretch goals to reach - so please consider spreading the word. We are pretty sure you know someone who would love to freeze to death while playing an awesome co-operative board game.
We’re on the verge of an unknown, yet an electrifying path. The city administration seeks your aid in making another significant step for our community as Glass Cannon Unplugged, tailors of the tabletop experience, and 11 bit studios, makers of the original IP, are thrilled to announce that Frostpunk: The Board Game Kickstarter campaign is now live.
This adaptation, playable by up to four players, will be faithful to the original both in gameplay and the atmosphere. As leaders of the survivor’s colony, you will become Social, Health, Generator, and Resources Advisors. Frostpunk is a euro type of board game, so a well-thought-out strategy has an incomparably higher value than reliance on luck. You’ll survive only thanks to efficiently managing both the issuing demands of citizens and the infrastructure, including the iconic generator represented by a highly detailed plastic cube tower miniature.
Frostpunk’s unplugged version is designed and developed by Glass Cannon Unplugged - a team of board game industry veterans - along with the well-known independent author Adam Kwapinski. After playing several prototypes we’re sure Frostpunk is in good hands, and it will present new challenges even for the original game veterans.
We totally support Glass Cannon Unplugged in their crowdfunding quest, so we cordially invite you to visit Frostpunk: The Board Game Kickstarter campaign page to watch the board game trailer or back up the project: Frostpunk: The Board Game campaign on Kickstarter
We want the campaign to be as vivid as possible, so more goals will be revealed during its course. One of a kind companion app will be among the highlighted stretches. “The idea is really neat and revolutionary in some way. And since Kickstarter is meant to fulfill dreams, let’s reach this goal and see what magic we can unleash” - said Glass Cannon Unplugged’s CEO, Jakub Wiśniewski.
Frostpunk: The Board Game key features:
Different player roles that ease the learning curve.
Innovative heating and generator cube tower mechanics with a custom-designed system of cube-catching and risk management.
A worker-placement game where your meeples get sick and hungry and have ethics and social demands!
Steering a society using Law and Technology, and bearing the consequences of in-game decisions, thanks to the narrative-driven Dusk card mechanics.
A fascinating mix of snow apocalypse and steampunk worlds to be discovered through expeditions deep into the Frostland.
A companion app that allows for different playstyles.
After the incredible reception of This War Of Mine: The Board Game, we are very excited to join forces with Glass Cannon Unplugged in order to bring the next big board game to your tables, a tabletop adaptation of Frostpunk.
In Frostpunk: The Board Game players will work together as the rulers of the last city on Earth in a scenario-based, cooperative board game with tons of unique solutions and beautiful components including a nearly 20cm tall Generator miniature that is also a crucial component of the game - a cube tower!
Yet the quality of a board game, especially based on Frostpunk, is measured not only by the miniatures! Those of you who are avid board gamers will be glad to hear that the game is designed by Adam Kwapiński (author of Nemesis) and written by Jakub Wiśniewski (co-author of This War Of Mine: TBG). The tabletop adaptation of Frostpunk will feature the scenarios you all know and love but also a few completely new ones!
Frostpunk: The Board Game will offer:
A worker-placement game with replayable scenarios.
Morally challenging and impactful story decisions that are closely tied to the gameplay.
Amazing table presence with a Generator cube tower accompanied by a set of detailed buildings and characters miniatures.
The crowdfunding campaign for Frostpunk: The Board Game will be launching on October 6th! > CLICK HERE < to be notified when it goes live! Also, be sure to follow Glass Cannon Unplugged on Twitter and Facebook to be up to date with all the news!
