Thirty years have passed since the vicious storm that concluded the first chapter of humankind's survival story in Frostpunk, Earth is still overwhelmed by the neverending frost and harsh, icy climate. But the apocalyptic world has moved on. 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.

The City, settled around the Generator and its life-giving warmth, grew and progressed as the years ticked on. Years of whiteouts have changed the world, giving it a clean slate with which to write a new post-apocalyptic part of its story. Despite the noose of oppression again starting to tighten on a society that is struggling for life-preserving supplies—and increasingly bothered by inner squabbles after recent events—the world is once again facing an era of possibly prolific expansion.

Most notably, however, people changed. And once they feel like they’ve tamed the frost, and the bonding survival instinct has faded, their human nature will come into play, driven by ambition that could spiral The City into the fall.

However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction.

Welcome, Stewards of New London!

As we continue to expand the icy world of Frostpunk 2, we’ve crafted a development roadmap to guide you through what lies ahead. Your feedback, be it suggestions, ideas, or bug reports, has been invaluable on our path up to this point, and has helped us shape our plans for the future. We wanted to begin by expressing how deeply grateful we are for your passion and commitment that ensures New London’s survival - you are the best Stewards one could ask for.

Since the game’s release in September, we’ve implemented numerous hotfixes and patches, addressing your feedback, introducing new game functionalities, and quality-of-life improvements, among other things.

The team has worked tirelessly to deliver the best possible Frostpunk 2 experience, and our journey is far from over. From substantial content updates to game expansions, there’s plenty to look forward to!

The road ahead

As you can see on the roadmap, our frostland expedition still has a long way to go, and plenty is happening in 2025 alone. Here are some of the highlights:

• Consoles Launch: We know it’s something many of you are looking forward to, and we are extremely happy to bring New London to all the console players.
• DLC: Although we’re keeping these under wraps for now, each DLC (currently under a codename - stay tuned for more updates!) will add something completely new to the harsh world of Frostpunk 2.
• Free Major Content Updates: On top of DLCs, we’re committed to adding free content updates, which in many ways were inspired by your feedback, that will significantly impact your overall experience with the game.

Rest assured, these major milestones are only part of what’s to come. Alongside them, we will continuously work on hotfixes and improvements to the game and its overall stability. Right on the horizon we have the Patch 1.2 that implements various gameplay and interface changes - more on that very soon.

As you all know, frostland is a dangerous place, full of hidden truths buried beneath layers of ice and time, and you are never quite certain where it may lead you and what it may uncover if you look hard enough…

A shared journey

This is still just the beginning of our journey and we want to continue being transparent about the changes we make to the game, while including you and your feedback every step of the way. As we move forward, we promise to update the roadmap with more details and share behind-the-scenes content so you can see how these changes come to life.

It is a journey we embarked on together, after all, and we couldn’t have asked for a better frostland expedition team!

We might be repeating ourselves at this point but thank you, truly, for the ongoing support.

Stay frosty and always remember…
The City Must Not Fall!
