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.

Skybound Games in partnership with developer 11 bit studios revealed details of the Frostpunk 2 PC Special Edition, which is now available for pre-order exclusively at Skybound’s Online Store for $99.99 and will ship globally. 

Diving even deeper into the post-apocalyptic abyss, Frostpunk 2 builds upon the foundations that made its predecessor a triumph. It combines city building, strategy and management gameplay while thrusting players into a world of unyielding realities and complex social dilemmas. With a broader scope and expansion in every aspect of gameplay mechanics, Frostpunk 2 escalates the tension as players steer the City and its inhabitants into an uncertain future.

The Frostpunk 2 PC Special Edition includes:

• “Deluxe” Edition: Includes Steam key for base game, 3 post-release DLCs, exclusive in-game item, “Warm Flesh” novella, and a digital artbook & soundtrack.
• Artistic Shadowbox: This multi-layered frame with integrated LED lights provides a stunning piece to adorn any desk or wall, bringing a touch of the Frostpunk universe into the real world.
• Numbered Limited Edition: As part of a limited production by Skybound, each Frostpunk 2 PC Special Edition box will be individually numbered, making each box one-of-a-kind.
• Faction Patch: Are you a technocrat or iceblood? Each box contains one of two available high-quality, embroidered patches, randomly allocated, perfect for stitching onto backpacks or sleeves.
• Metal & Enamel Keychain: Inspired by the game's key art, this high-quality piece is a beautiful addition to a Frostpunk fan’s keychain.
• Two Art Postcards: Players can now send warm greetings from the icy frostland to friends (or foes) with these beautifully designed postcards.

"I’ve been a Frostpunk player, a Captain, since the first game’s release in 2018,” said Ian Howe, Managing Partner at Skybound Games. “So when the opportunity to work with 11 bit studios for Frostpunk 2 came about, I very enthusiastically rallied the Skybound Games team to start visualizing what an exceptional physical edition could look like. Where we landed is a carefully curated PC edition with the hope of providing not just an immersive experience, extending the frostlands beyond the screen, but something fans can treasure for years to come.”

The Frostpunk 2 PC Special Edition is now available for pre-order exclusively at the Skybound Online Store

Frostpunk 2 is coming to PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG) and PC Game Pass on September 20, 2024, followed by PS5 and Xbox Series X|S at a later time.
