We're also launching our new social media platform - TikTok. As a TikTok newbie, for a good start, we're going to drop a few videos informing about current matters. However, in the future, we plan to make short formats with a peek behind the curtain that will introduce to you the people that shape our games, our work style, and everyday life in 11 bit studios HQ. We understand this particular media has - let's say, a specific reputation - however, we intend to create content that is in line with what we do and show you who we are and what makes our games unique rather than aim at not-so-serious clips in seek of viral recognition. You'll see. Anyway, to those of you who use TikTok - let us cordially invite you to the 11 bit channel. Finally, something new is to be posted soon, unveiling bits of the Frostpunk 2 world. So stay tuned!

Jump here if you wish to - nomen omen - add Frostpunk 2 to the wishlist.

Oi! Extra! Fresh from print! The Toolbox is here!

“Madame! Get yours before it runs out! Oi, fresh news of the city!”

Thomas’ fingers are numb with cold when the snow covers his shoulders. Wet splats of the icy rain mark his shoulder blades and chest - there are many papers yet to be given out, more shrill cries of his not to succumb to the icy weather.

“Oi! Extra! Fresh from print! The Toolbox is here!”

The advertorial issue is heavy in his hands, water bleeding through the paper and his well-worn mittens - Ma made them just for him, to shield him from the icy wind and biting frost. The full press package is carefully wrapped in blankets at Thomas’ side, shielded enough to peek through but away from the destruction of the elements - there’s a clever lever hidden inside that secures an issue to be blemish-free - and yet conveniently within reach for the customer.

“Extra! The Fishermen refuse to budge, the fight for the oil refinery gets bitter after two weeks!“

It’s been hard to count years, days, and hours like the boss does, all awkward numbers and calendar lines, but Thomas is getting the hang of things.

“Oil reserves doubled, spring ought to be safer!” His throat is raw with pain but he shouts, voice echoing down the alleyway. “Coal is not our only option today! Hear ye, hear ye!“


A weathered coalminer swaggers up to Thomas, his eyes briefly scanning the cover with its illustration. He narrows his brow at some of the letterings.

“Sir! The chief scientist asks: Will it get warmer?”

“Gimme two of these.” The man mutters, his voice low.

“Sure thing!” Thomas beams, two neatly pieces of paper right away in his hand. The miner doesn’t look twice at him and goes away, already reading the key headlines.

“Get the newest issue of The Toolbox!”

It is a gloomy, Friday morn, and the young paperboys of the District awaken - but Thomas knows his street corner like the back of his hand, sinewy with carrying package of the papers after package, his body bent awkwardly in the heavy coat but he does have the best spot on the corner - shielded by a lonesome street lantern, further down the cobblestone path than back when he started, three Reindeer Mating Seasons ago.

It gets easier over time, everything gets easier.

Have a sneak peek at Project 8, an upcoming game of ours!

Project 8 is one of our upcoming games being developed within Unreal Engine 4 and 5 from Epic Games.

Kinguin backs down, removes Frostpunk 2 preorder key listing




Last week, 11 Bit Studios called out game key reseller Kinguin—harshly—for selling "preorder Steam CD keys" for Frostpunk 2. The complaint arose from the fact that Frostpunk 2, which was only announced two weeks ago, doesn't have a release date, age rating, or even an official price. "They are selling something that doesn't exist," the studio said...

11 Bit Studios calls out 'shitty scammer' selling Frostpunk 2 on Kinguin




Frostpunk 2 was announced a week ago with a grim teaser, a brief synopsis of the new setting—coal is out, oil is in—and no release date. 11 Bit Studios warned that the game is still "pretty early in development," and likely a long way off. That hasn't prevented online retailer Kinguin from offering "preorder Steam CD keys" for sale, leading to a very strong response from 11 Bit urging fans not to buy them...
