11-bit Studios had a hit on its hands when it first launched Frostpunk back in 2018. Since then, the studio has been hard at work on a big new sequel. During the Xbox Partner Preview stream this week, we finally got more details, with the game set to launch in July for PC and consoles.
Frostpunk 2 will officially launch on the 25th of July for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5. The release date announcement comes alongside a new trailer, giving us a closer look at the game in action.
If you want to test out the game early, then there will be a beta taking place in April 2024, with details on how to gain access to be given closer to the time. If you pick up the game's Digital Deluxe Edition, you'll also get access to three DLCs post-launch, as well as 72 hours of early access to the game's story mode.
KitGuru Says: Frostpunk is one of my favourite strategy games, so I'm very much looking forward to the sequel. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it avoids the performance pitfalls of Cities: Skylines 2 at launch, which squandered much of the game's launch potential.
