Frostpunk is Going Into Its Final Stage + The Automatons

February 2, 2018 - As 2018 marches on, 11 bit studios is moving into the final stage of development on Frostpunk - a city-survival game where keeping warm is tantamount to staying alive, and every decision comes with a cost. Lifting the curtain on new, rich world-lore is the game’s Art Director, Przemyslaw Marszal:

‘It’s been a long journey, and I’m happy to see Frostpunk reaching its final stages. The game evolved into an unprecedented mixture of survival, city-builder, and society simulator. In the upcoming weeks, we'll be releasing a new gameplay trailer intriguingly named “Irreversible”, and unveil more details about the game, including the release date. Before that happens, let me tease you with new concept art, screenshots, and in-game gifs presenting Automatons - Huge, steam-powered machines that are the pinnacle of human engineering, used to ease the burden of hard labor from your wearied citizens. They’re an example of pragmatic and authentic steampunk technology, used to endure cold and ensure humanity’s chances of survival. Of course, automatons are just one of many features you may encounter in your city - there’s plenty more to see in the upcoming trailer! And stay tuned for more developer updates from us about Frostpunk features”

About Frostpunk

Frostpunk is a city-survival game in which heat means life, and every decision comes with a cost. Living among the frozen remnants of Earth, it is up to you to shape society, establishing the laws and customs to ensure survival.

• MAINTAIN HOPE - Survival is about hope and the will to live. Your ability to spark and maintain these two in your citizens will be a determinant factor for success.
• MAKE AND ENACT LAW - The only method of continued survival is to ensure survivors abide by the same rules and share similar beliefs. Establishing laws and customs will be a crucial factor shaping your society.
• WEIGH YOUR CHOICES - Will you allow child-labour? How will you treat the sick and wounded? Choices in Frostpunk are never straightforward, and decisions come at a price.
• EXPLORE - The world covers not only bits of the past but also the potential means to secure the future of your people.

With the future of humankind in your hands, Frostpunk is both a challenge of tactical planning and a test of your own humanity.

Frostpunk will be available on Steam, Humble Store, GOG and other digital stores for Windows and Mac.
