New events, mechanics, buildings and a Purpose Path

Our goal is to build on the original Frostpunk and expand it by adding new content, giving you even more tools to manage your citizens and infrastructure as the ruler of the last city on Earth. That means new events, mechanics, laws, technologies, buildings and also brand new Purpose Path in addition to the existing ones of Faith and Order.

Frostpunk experience on Unreal Engine

While limited by our in-house Liquid Engine on which the first Frostpunk was created, we’ve been looking for other ways to expand the game. The development of Frostpunk 2 made us realize how much the experience of the original could be improved using the Unreal Engine. It became apparent that rebuilding Frostpunk in the Unreal Engine will make it a richer, more immersive experience with enhanced visuals and performance.

Mod support

For years, players have asked us for mod support, and we couldn’t be happier to finally make it happen! The new engine opens the door to new content, future DLCs, and even community-driven content. We’re thrilled to give you more ways to explore, expand, and personalize your Frostpunk experience. 

Coming in 2027

We’re committed to launching the game in 2027. As the date approaches, you can expect more exciting updates, a first look at gameplay, and behind-the-scenes content, so be sure to wishlist and follow our social media channels to be the first to know about future updates!
