Frostpunk Roadmap Update #2

Hello Citizens,

Our journey is far from over,

With the recent release of Free Major Content Update, it's time to chart the next course in our journey with Frostpunk 2. And yes, this is the consoles launch this summer.

But before that, we would like to thank you again for all the feedback to the recent update, as it helps us constantly improve the game.

We hear you loud and clear - your excitement for console ports hasn’t gone unnoticed, and we truly appreciate your patience, as we are doing everything to deliver polished product on it's release.

You can also expect that each upcoming DLC will be preceded by a Free Major Content Update (marked with gold milestones), packed with tons of new content and improvements, which will be available for every Frostpunk 2 owner, without purchasing any of DLC.

To meet all your expectations, include so much free content in between, and deliver the quality of all upcoming DLC's, we decided to move the second DLC - codenamed Aurora - to 2026.

A better future lies ahead!

Stay strong, because The City Must Not Fall.

Frostpunk 2 | City Unbound Ep. 9 - The Heat, The Pit and The Serenity

Watch new special episode of “City Unbound”, where you will find more about some new features that arrived in the latest update.

[h3]Epic whiteouts, mass migration[/h3]

As we all know, Frostpunk 2 can be a challenging game. Since its premiere, we’ve received a lot of feedback from you on what could be improved to make it even harder. That’s why in the upcoming patch, we’ve introduced a few new challenges to the game, like epic whiteouts that will take some time to pass. There’s also a recurring migration crisis that will force you to find shelter for a constant stream of desperate newcomers.

[h3]Heat Management System, Serenity mode[/h3]

Of course, just like The Steward of New London, we’re not completely heartless. Apart from new obstacles to tackle, we’ll throw in a few conveniences. The most important one is an advanced heat management system. It will allow you to pinpoint places in your city that need more warmth while at the same time sacrificing other, less demanding districts and buildings.

That’s not all, we also have something for those who would like to tackle Frostpunk 2 with less pressure. A new addition called the Serenity Mode, will give a formidable headstart while starting a new game. Abundance of resources as well as toning down the conflicts inside the city will let you familiarize yourself with the game without the need for a rocky start.

We hope that they will keep your game interesting while you wait for even more future additions.

As we still want to develop the game with our community, you can leave your feedback about new update in the comments. This is always a big hint for us in which direction we should proceed.

Stay warm!
