Frostpunk 2 Post-Launch Roadmap Promises Three Expansions, Free Content Updates, and More

gamingbolt.com:

Frostpunk 2 has seen numerous updates and hotfixes since its launch for PC in September, though as you’d expect, developer 11 bit studios has plenty more planned for the post-apocalyptic city builder survival sim over the course of the next couple of years. In a Steam post, the developer has shed some light on what those plans will entail with a post-launch roadmap.

In the immediate future, players can expect Frostpunk 2’s second major patch in the near future, though 2025 will see post-launch support for the game beefing up significantly. For starters, 11 bit studios says it will be releasing free major content updates for the game. Updates will be based on feedback from players and will supposedly “significantly impact your overall experience”.

Additionally, 11 bit studios is also planning on releasing three paid expansions. Two of these – titled Aurora and Spectrum – are planned for 2025, while the third, which is currently untitled, will release sometime in 2026. The developer says each expansion will “add something completely new to the harsh world of Frostpunk 2.”

Finally, 2025 will also see Frostpunk 2 releasing for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Beyond that, you can expect consistent updates and patches as well. Says the developer, “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.”

In our review of the game, we awarded it a score of 9/10, saying, “Frostpunk 2 is much more ambitious than the original, which may dissuade some fans. Nevertheless, it’s a brutal experience that reminds one of humanity’s illogical yet endearing social turmoils.” Read the full review through here.

Earlier this month, 11 bit studios announced Frostpunk 2 had sold over 511,000 units worldwide.
