Frostpunk 2 is in the works, and today, we learn a little bit about it.

11 bit has announced Frostpunk 2, the sequel to the acclaimed 2018 strategy game. In development for PC, Frostpunk 2 takes place 30 years after the events of the main game.

This is still a world of harsh cold, with oil replacing coal as the means of sustaining your city. Not everyone is on board with this, it seems, so you're going to run into opposition when you decide to leave coal behind in the search for oil.

11 bit promises an ambitious game that offers more meaningful choices, a bigger scale, and higher production values. The sequel is being developed by a 70-person team, most of whom worked on the first game.

The original Frostpunk, which has now sold over 3 million units, is currently free to play on Steam until Monday, August 16. As for Frostpunk 2, it does not yet have a release target, but you can wishlist it on Steam.
