The final release of Frostpunk 2, which is scheduled for July 25th, will be available on PC and included in the PC Game Pass. This sequel is set 30 years after the original Frostpunk, continuing the series' legacy of survival and societal-management gameplay.

When will Frostpunk 2 be released, and on what platforms?

Frostpunk 2 is officially set to release on July 25th for the PC and will also be immediately playable through the PC Game Pass.

Frostpunk, developed by 11 bit studios, emerged as a critically acclaimed strategy game upon its release. Set in a world encased by a perpetual winter, players are tasked with managing the last city on Earth. It is distinguished by its blend of city-building, survival, and a branching narrative that forces players to make moral choices that affect the game’s story and their society’s survival. As players anticipate the sequel, they can expect more of the engaging gameplay and emotional storytelling that drew them into the frostbitten world of the original Frostpunk.
