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.

11 bit studios is thrilled to announce that Piotr Musiał, one of Poland's most well-known game music composers, will be composing the soundtrack for the upcoming Frostpunk sequel.

Musiał, who previously worked with the studio on This War of Mine and the original Frostpunk, is a natural fit for the new project. His portfolio also includes scores for other notable Polish titles like The Witcher 3.

Additionally, Musiał will be composing the music for another 11 bit studios game, The Alters. Unlike the grim post-apocalyptic setting of Frostpunk, The Alters features a sci-fi story with a completely different musical tone.

Frostpunk 2 is coming to PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG) and PC Game Pass on July 25, 2024, followed by PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at a later time.
