Having a plan is crucial, Steward. In Frostpunk 2, the highly anticipated sequel to 11 bit studios’ bestselling city-building and society survival game, failing to plan can quickly lead your city to ruin.

11 bit studios is excited to welcome the first players back to the harsh, frozen world of New London with the launch of Advanced Access. As Stewards, you will face hardships, tough decisions, and ideological conflicts. When the sirens pierce the cold air with their chilling wail, it signals one thing: you’ve failed your people, Steward.

Frostpunk 2 Advanced Access is live now. The Digital Deluxe Edition, which grants instant access alongside three yet-to-be-announced DLCs, an in-game item, and other exclusive extras, is still available for purchase. The full game launches on PC on September 20th, also available via PC Game Pass, with a console release slated for next year.

For collectors, a limited Special Edition is available, featuring a multi-layered shadow box, the Deluxe Edition of the game, postcards, a metal keychain, a faction patch, and a sticker—all made in partnership with Skybound Games.
