It looks like there’s more death, misery and ice on the horizon – as a sequel to Frostpunk has been announced by 11 Bit Studios.
Frostpunk 2 is the first of three current in-house projects to be formally revealed by 11-Bit Studios, and given the success of the first game, perhaps this one doesn’t come as much of a surprise. A brief announcement trailer has been released, showing that the world of Frostpunk has moved on from coal to oil – although it looks just as brutal as before.
“In Frostpunk’s successor, players are once again tasked with playing as the leader of a resource-hungry metropolis where the expansion and search for new sources of power is an unavoidable reality. But the apocalyptic world has moved on,” says the press release. “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. However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction.”
