[p]Hello Citizens,

You’ve asked for it, and now it’s finally here: the official 11 bit merch store is live, and it's launching with a brand-new collection featuring designs from your favourite games.

Whiteouts and heavy storms can shake your city, but cannot break it. Through hell or high water, the generator was always there for us. Now you can take it with you even into the coldest storm.


[/p][h3]
Clothing[/h3][p]We brought our three famous patterns onto the T-shirts and hoodies which reflect soul of the Frostpunk franchise. Pick your favourite: Frostpunk 2 Citizen [/p][p]Rejoice, citizens! It’s been 30 years since The Great Storm almost wiped out our beloved city. Yet we survived, and this pattern is a testament to that.

The Generator [/p][p]Even in the hardest of times, Generator has shielded us from the cold’s deadly touch. Let this pattern serve you as well, brave Citizens.

Frostland Aesthetic [/p][p]We travelled long, with only a tiny glimmer of hope leading us forward through snow. Show the world you survived the winter as well with this pattern.
[/p][h3]
Backpacks[/h3][p]The Great Storm has almost wiped out our beloved city, yet we survived, Citizens! And these backpacks are here to remind us of that:[/p][p]
Frostpunk 2 Citizen Drawstring Backpack and The Generator Drawstring Backpack will always remind you of our community importance.[/p][p]
[/p][h3]
Pads[/h3][p]Every time you will have a seat before your PC these five mousepads will remind you about your favorite City:

The City Core Pad[/p][p]Anger stirs up inside the metropolis as the generator heats up to a dangerous level. Can you save the city, Steward? In any case, this mouse pad will remind you of your duty.
[/p][p]The Boiling Pot Pad[/p][p]Things look pretty grim on the burning streets. Only a brave and stalwart Steward such as you can save the city! Let this mouse pad help your steady hand while governing your affairs.
[/p][p]Citizen Art Pad[/p][p]The city must not fall, Steward - its citizens look up to you for steadiness and wisdom. Use this mouse pad as a reminder of how you saved New London once, and will do it again!
[/p][p]Frostpunk Storm Pad[/p][p]Whiteouts and heavy storms can shake your city, but to break it, this requires a force from within. Show the world your unquenched resolve with this cool mouse pad.
[/p][p]Frostpunk 2 Citizen Pad[/p][p]Can you stop your city from crumbling, Steward? Citizens await your decisions with hope, yet they will remain critical, unlike this mouse pad that will always comfort your hand.

[p]Hello Citizens!
[/p][p]We’re thrilled to announce that full controller support is coming to Frostpunk 2 on PC starting September 18th, launching alongside the console release.
[/p][p]Building on our experience with the original Frostpunk: Console Edition, we’ve worked hard to refine the gamepad experience for Frostpunk 2. The result is an intuitive, streamlined, circular interface that lets you manage your city with just a flick of your thumb.

Check Out How Frostpunk 2 Adapts to Your Favorite Controller in our new trailer:
[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][h3]Adjusted UI Layout
[/h3][p]When you connect your gamepad, you’ll experience a redesigned UI built specifically for smooth navigation. Adapting the complex PC interface for controllers was no easy task, but we’ve created an experience that feels both natural and satisfying. Our goal has always been to prove that even deep, strategic city-builders can feel just as immersive and accessible on a controller.
[/p][p]Enjoy quick access to your most important actions,
[/p]

• [p]Use the bumper buttons to cycle between districts of the same type,
  [/p]
• [p]Interact with a dynamic radial menu that appears over resource piles, showing context-specific actions.
  
  [/p]

[p][/p][p] [/p][h3]Circular Interface for a Quick Management
[/h3][p]To ensure fast and fluid decision-making, we reimagined the circular interface from Frostpunk: Console Edition and rebuilt it for the new challenges of Frostpunk 2.
[/p][p]Since Frostpunk 2 differs in gameplay from its predecessor, we carefully reworked and adapted these systems over time. Our aim is to give you the freedom to choose your preferred way to play, without worrying about how to navigate the controls.
[/p][p]Take a look at the brand-new command wheel and see how seamlessly you can govern your city with just a single tilt of a thumbstick!:
[/p][p] [/p][p]Full controller support is coming to Frostpunk 2 on PC starting September 18th - the same day as the release on PlayStation, Xbox and Xbox Game Pass!
[/p][p]Stay strong Citizens! [/p][p] [/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]~ 11 bit studios Team [/p]
