Frostpunk 2 shows its first gameplay video

Frostpunk 2 is one of the most anticipated upcoming releases in the strategy genre. The success of its predecessor has generated a huge hype around the sequel. The original Frostpunk surprised the fans of the genre with a thrilling experience that made you lead a group of survivors under extreme conditions after the freezing of the planet. The brutality of the game rapidly hooked a huge player base that saw the game's story and content expand with three DLCs. On the Edge, The Last Autumn, and The Rifts included new features, scenarios, and novelties while maintaining the difficulty of the game quite high.

Now, Frostpunk 2 aims to follow the steps of its predecessor and it will also introduce plenty of novelties. The game is set thirty years after the cataclysmic storm that covered the world in ice. Finding the means to survive is still your priority but the new game also introduces new mechanics that emphasize the problems generated in society by human nature itself.

"Frostpunk 2 is still a game about the City and its society, but inner turmoils, sparked by rising social differences, mean that players will be facing new kinds of threats. We use a post-apocalyptic setup to tell a meaningful story about human ambition. Because ultimately, what can end us is not nature itself – it’s human nature."

Survival is still your main goal

Frostpunk 2 will feature many elements already seen in the previous game in the series, but the gameplay will be significantly different while maintaining a very high level of difficulty. You can take a first look at the gameplay in the following video.

The creators of This War of Mine have come up with a sequel that will cope with the high expectations of the fans. In Frostpunk 2, new problems will require new solutions, and you will decide if you take a ruthless or more compassionate approach to the survival of your people. Whatever you decide, you will have to deal with the consequences.
