About the Game

Frostpunk 2 elevates the city-survival genre to a new level. Take the role of a Steward and lead your city through a cascade of calamities taking place in a postapocalyptic, snowy setting. Build large city districts with their string of endless needs and demands. Navigate through conflicting interests of factions that populate your metropolis. As the needs of the city grow and factional power at its core rises, only you can steer the society towards an uncertain future.

The world is overtaken by an ever present winter, which makes expansion of the city the only way for the survival of mankind. In order to grow, the metropolis needs resources like coal and oil, just like its citizens require food and warmth. In Frostpunk 2, it's your job to tackle this never ending circle of supply and demand.

The number of your citizens steadily grows, making the task of governing them and satisfying their demands all the more challenging. As the Steward you will have to maneuver carefully across the interests of many groups inhabiting the city.

People of your city want to have a voice in how you run things. Each faction has its own ideology and ideas for the future, yet they also have one thing in common - insatiable thirst for power. Choose your allies in the Council Hall wisely.

Make tough life-and-death decisions as you allocate heat across your city, supported by new research topics and heat-oriented laws. Choose districts that need the most warmth with the help of the Heat Management system with a detailed temperature overlay.

The story of Frostpunk 2 introduces a multi-chapter saga set in the frozen wastes. Spanning across the life of the Steward this campaign lets you feel the burden of leadership as you take the responsibility for thousands of lives. At the same time, the sandbox mode called Utopia Builder with infinite play time leaves you room for boundless social and infrastructural experiments.

Frostpunk 2 comes with a comprehensive and versatile modding tool. FrostKit will let you create your own maps, models, and scenarios inside the game. Now, only your imagination can limit the destination your city is heading to!

FrostPunk2 is a mixed bag of a game. The graphics and setting are amazing! The numerous factions and technologies you can research are very cool. That said, the game came frequently be pretty frustrating; a game

The reputation math in this game makes no sense. I cant finish a run because the faction rep is stuck in the red and I get voted out. I felt like I had an amazing run yet the game is not transparant about why I

I had to restart my run because I didn't build watchtowers or prisons. My city was functioning perfectly without them, so it feels incredibly cheap when the game suddenly punishes me with events where having those

Trying to make a huge focus of the game be democratic voting and trying to maintain power in a literal apocalypse really throws the game off. "Oh no! Thousands of people just arrived, we need housing ASAP!" "Well... I'm

Frostpunk 2 had it tough at release. But unlike Firaxis (yeah, that is a dig) they made an incredible game. After many patches which made it feel a lot more like Frostpunk 1 i've grown to love this game. Thank you 11
