Survive at All Costs in Frostpunk 2
11 bit studios has announced that the developers have decided to delay the release of Frostpunk 2 till 20th September 2024. This delay will allow the team to focus on delivering the best possible experience when it finally comes out this fall. The game will be available on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC, so stay tuned for more updates.
Here’s an excerpt from the Steam post by Design Director Jakub Stokalski and Art Director Lukasz Juszczyk:
“Based on the surveys we received after playing Beta, the average rating you gave us was 8 out of 10. We’re super grateful for that! At the same time, it was only a small slice of a work-in-progress, still-growing game. While our backlog is plentiful, it was an opportunity for us to listen to what you enjoyed, and what didn’t quite land yet”.
Further, it follows: “This allowed us to prioritise things better, and bring upfront the features and modifications we were already working on. But we also realised that to guarantee the best possible experience on launch, we need more time to finish the development of Frostpunk 2. That’s why we made the difficult decision to postpone its release to September 20th, 2024”.
The scope of the new updates includes enhancements to game mechanics, extensive UI and UX improvements, a highly requested city feature called Zoom Stories, and much more. For more information, take a look at the full version of the statement right here.
