Frostpunk 2 builds on the conflicts of its predecessor - survival vs human values, life vs the arctic frost.
What players should expect is a wide universe of choices, the freedom to shape the society and the city however they see fit - and reap the consequences. With a still-growing team of nearly 70 people, we have more manpower available to focus on all aspects of the game from the scale, the production value, and the quality of UX, but our ambition is to do more than a straight-up sequel. What we aim to deliver to players is an experience that goes vastly beyond that of the original Frostpunk.

The world continues to get colder and bigger threats arise. Society's expansion and survival will have its cost as demands and expectations of various factions will raise tensions and evoke conflicts.
