Developer 11-bit Studios announced today that they are working on a sequel to the popular society survival and city-building<\/a> game, Frostpunk.<\/p>\n

Frostpunk 2 will see players once again taking the role of the leader of a resource-hungry metropolis after a catastrophic climate change, which has left the whole planet frozen in the perpetual arctic cold. In this ice and snow-covered world, resources are scarce, but the biggest threat to humanity is not cold or nature, rather other humans.<\/p>\n

Just like in the first game, as the leader, you will not only manage resources and build a city, you will also need to understand human nature and make sure that everyone in the city is in a good condition, both physically and mentally. Or otherwise, one small crack in a carefully build society can make the whole city ruined.<\/p>\n

Here’s what we currently know about the sequel.<\/p>\n

Frostpunk 2 story and setting<\/h2>\n

Frostpunk 2  is set 30 years after the events at the end of the campaign in the first game when the huge apocalyptic blizzard abruptly ended the story mode.<\/p>\n

Yet, New London has survived and even made some progress. People are still living in a frozen wasteland and things are not getting better anytime soon, but society has adapted and learned how to use new resources in order to bolster their chances for survival.<\/p>\n

Instead of coal and steam machines, which were the main driving forces behind your settlements in the first game, in Frostpunk 2 it’s all about oil, a shiny new resource that is now the main source of energy in the game.<\/p>\n

“After the age of coal, conquering Frostland for the oil extraction industry is expected to be the new salvation of what’s left of humanity,” says the announcement. “However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction.”<\/p>\n

Currently, we don’t know much about this new age of oil, new factions, and how all of that has affected society, as developers are being rather tight-lipped about it, but one glimpse at the announcement trailer is enough to show that things are pretty dystopian.<\/p>\n
