Frostpunk 2 postponed to September

Frostpunk 2 has been delayed. Originally scheduled for next month on July 25, the next narrative city building game is now arriving on September 20.

Developer 11 Bit Studios says that after a recent beta, the team wants to take the time to respond to feedback to ensure the best possible experience. In a press release, design director Jakub Stokalski and art director Lukasz Juszczyk issued the following statement:

“Based on the surveys we received after playing the beta, the average rating you gave us was 8 out of 10. We are very grateful! At the same time, it was only a small part of a game currently in development. Even though our backlog is large, this was an opportunity for us to hear what you liked and what hasn’t been found yet.

“This allowed us to better prioritize things and highlight the features and changes we were already working on. But we also realized that to ensure the best possible experience at launch, we needed more time to complete development of Frostpunk 2. That’s why we made the difficult decision to postpone its release until September 20, 2024.

11 Bit says it plans to work on new additions to existing game mechanics and improve the UI and UX, among other things.

Frostpunk 2 will be released first on PC on September 20. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox series X/S versions should arrive later. We recently played the game and you can read our detailed preview here.
