After the success of the original Frostpunk back in 2018, it was only a matter of time until the grim and gritty survival strategy game spawned a sequel. Frostpunk 2 released on September 17 for advanced access players and Sep 20 for everyone else. It earned largely glowing reviews, and developer 11 Bit Studios now reveals the game has racked up enough sales to cover its production and marketing costs.

Strategy games are about making choices. Some of these choices are complicated - when to go to war or what type of civilizational goals to embrace - and some are simpler, like choosing which kind of military unit to train or specific building to construct. Frostpunk 2, a game about surviving an apocalyptic eternal winter, is clever in that it gives every one of these types of choices, hard or easy, emotional weight and dramatic stakes.
