11 bit studios has released the first look at gameplay for its post-apocalyptic city-survival game Frostpunk 2.
Announced in 2021, it's the sequel to the studio’s acclaimed 2018 strategy game Frostpunk, which sold over 3 million copies. It takes place in New London 30 years after the Great Storm of the original game, and the consequences stemming from the arrival of the oil industry.
Frostpunk 2 remains focused on the story of a populace dealing with harsh realities, and it’s up to you as a Steward to ensure the sustainability and survival of your City.
The denizens of Frostpunk are, understandably, quite grumpy so-and-sos a lot of the time, but through their cries of "More heat!" and "Please can we not with the human waste hothouse jobs!", I reckon even they'd be quite pleased to hear that Frostpunk 2 will be heading to PC Game Pass on its day of release (with Xbox Game Pass following when it arrives on consoles). Alas, we still don't know exactly when it's coming out yet, but in the mean time, why not gather round the burning barrel of 11 Bit's very first gameplay trailer for it while we wait?
