Tempting, as it does look spectacular and like a proper "bigger and better" sequel.

I loved Frostpunk.

11bit studios though:

I won't buy anything of theirs when they lead people on with fake contests and don't fulfil their promises.

The art book for Frost Punk exists. I found it at a thrift store a while back.
So, some one must have won the contest.

From the Frostpunk Farcebook:

"Just over two months ago, you had the chance to play the Beta, and we greatly appreciate the feedback you shared with us. Your observations, along with the existing backlog of features that we were already working on, made us realize that we can prioritize things better to guarantee you have the best possible experience at launch.

To do it right, we need more time to finish the development of #Frostpunk 2. That's why we made the difficult decision to postpone its release to September 20th, 2024.

We know that this is not the news you wanted to hear. However, we believe that these additional features are something you deserve to see in-game from day one, not in a patch added after the release."

City Unbound Ep.1 - After The Great Storm

"City Unbound is a series in which we'll show you all the different facets and features of the upcoming Frostpunk 2. Watch the 1st Episode with Game Director and Design Director Jakub Stokalski, and learn more about the world and the state of humanity after the great storm."

31 months and still no word?

Official Modding Tool Announcement

"We are thrilled to announce that the game’s modding tool - that we like to call FrostKit - will be available from the release in its beta version.

Mod support - particularly for creating maps and scenarios - has been frequently mentioned by you for years, ever since the launch of the first Frostpunk. However, the original game and its in-house engine had limitations preventing us from making it happen, but now that we switched to Unreal Engine, things are totally different.

With the FrostKit you will be able to create custom maps, populate them with custom models, and set their new cities - whether ancient, cosmic, or differentiated in thousands of other ways from the original frosty-apocalypse setting - against custom scenarios.

The beta version of the modding tool will enable creators to access most of its functionalities, although these will be iteratively upgraded while taking your feedback into consideration. It will serve us as a valuable insight into what works well and what needs improvement. To kick off this process, the tool will be first tested through a closed beta with selected members of the modding community before the official release.

It’s our first time introducing a modding tool and it’s very likely that we won’t do everything perfectly on the first try but we’re committed to eventually make it the best we possibly can!"

Oh this is exciting news, thank you for sharing the link!

Intro Cinematic

"After 30 years of enduring the relentless whiteouts, the crumbling British Empire still clings to survival. But as the Captain’s final breath leaves his body, he realizes that mere survival is no longer enough in the current world.
Will years of struggle and sacrifice be undone by ideological infighting? Or can the new Steward reconcile the political factions and inspire society to believe that New London can still stand strong?"

Jesus, the font in the latest screenshots looks super small, I'm starting to wonder if the devs read their own game or just skip everything during playtesting

It's also lowkey funny that the image takes half the screen, because clearly that's more important than the text I guess

The grey misty border seems to be more important than either image or text. It would be very easy to increase the font size without changing the size of the image.

Hey GOG you are preselling a 60 dollar game due to be released in 5 days (2 days for those sad people who can't wait 3 extra days and pay the ripoff price)

Any chance you could add the system requirements?

And also not fuck up the release timing for those people who do preorder?

Thanks in advance for fixing the most basic of things a storefront should do.

Contest is still not resolved. 32 months.

The release times tomorrow for those who pre-ordered Deluxe Edition have been announced. The game will be available 7PM Warsaw time, so in 19 hours :-)
