This fully-fledged sequel to the original society survival game is set to arrive on Windows PC on July 25th and is available for pre-order. The Digital Deluxe edition is also available. Launching on consoles at a later date, the game will also be coming to Xbox Game Pass.

Frostpunk 2 takes place 30 years after the apocalyptic blizzard. You play as the leader of a resource-hungry metropolis where expansion and internal conflicts are an unavoidable reality.

As the City grows, creating and passing new laws becomes a more complex matter. The people slowly divide into factions with different, often contradictory visions of the future. The Council is a place where these ideas clash, sometimes violently. It's your role as a Steward to ensure that the city will not fall because of those conflicts.

The Digital Deluxe edition of the game includes:

• Base game

• Three paid post-release DLCs

• Exclusive access to the story mode 72 hours before the official release

• “Warm Flesh” digital novella, an enticing excerpt from the upcoming Frostpunk book anthology

• Digital artbook & soundtrack

FEATURES

• Revisit the Frostland and face a new deadly threat to your City's future - human nature.

• Build your City on a new scale by creating entire districts with different purposes: industrial, scientific, etc.

• Ensure that all parts of the City work in unison with each other like cogs in a giant, resource-hungry machine.

• Erect The Council building where you'll forge laws for the growing metropolis.

• Navigate between different factions and their ideas for the future, trying to tame their ambitions and unrestrained thirst for power.

• Research technologies that will change the face of your City.
