Exciting Developments in the Frostpunk Universe
Since its release just six months ago, 11 Bit Studios’ Frostpunk 2 has captivated players with its unique survival city-building mechanics. Now, the studio has announced another ambitious project set within the same chilling universe: Frostpunk 1886. This upcoming title promises a fresh take on the franchise’s origins, combining enhanced visuals, innovative gameplay systems, and a broader narrative experience.
A New Foundation with Unreal Engine
To elevate the gameplay experience, the developers are transitioning from their proprietary Liquid Engine—previously used in Frostpunk and This War of Mine—to the renowned Unreal Engine. This shift not only modernizes the technical framework but also facilitates greater creative possibilities for the remake.
“With the studio’s proprietary Liquid Engine, which powered not only the original Frostpunk but also This War of Mine, no longer in development, the team has long sought a new foundation to carry forward the legacy of the first game, ”explains the developer.
What’s New with Frostpunk 1886?
Frostpunk 1886 is set to retain the elements that made the original a blockbuster while introducing various enhancements. The remake will include:
- Expanded Content: New mechanics and laws to enrich gameplay.
- New Purpose Path: A completely fresh narrative route designed to engage even the most veteran players.
- Modding Support: Players will have tools to create and share their own content, extending the game’s lifespan.
This transformative approach allows the development team to build upon the core features that won the hearts of fans and invites newcomers to immerse themselves in the Frostpunk saga.
Looking Ahead
Frostpunk 1886 is slated for release in 2027, with a comprehensive reveal expected to surface in the coming months. In addition, the studio reassured its loyal following that development for Frostpunk 2 would persist, incorporating significant free updates, console launches, and additional downloadable content (DLC) to enrich the gaming experience.
