The release date for Frostpunk 2 is scheduled for 25th July, with the game launching on PC and simultaneously becoming available on PC Game Pass. 11 Bit Studios revealed the news during this evening’s Xbox Partner Preview Showcase.

The Digital Deluxe Edition also contains three paid post-release DLCs, access to the story mode 72 hours before the official release on the 25th, and a Digital artbook and soundtrack.
Frostpunk 2 is being developed for the Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, with these versions set to release later. However, the Xbox Series X/S version will be accessible on Xbox Game Pass upon its launch.
Here’s an overview provided by 11 Bit Studios:
Diving even deeper into the post-apocalyptic abyss, Frostpunk 2 builds upon the foundations that made its predecessor a triumph. It thrusts players into a world of unyielding realities and complex social dilemmas within an ever-expanding city. With a broader scope and expansion in every aspect of the gameplay mechanics, Frostpunk 2 escalates the tension as you steer the City and its inhabitants into an uncertain future.
Much of that tension comes from introducing different factions within the City walls vying for allegiance among its citizens. Will you bend your decisions to the survivalist nature of the Icebloods, advocates of adaptation over development? Or will you side with the methodical Technocrats, champions of technological progress? Perhaps, you might even side with one of the more radicalized groups you’ll meet in-game. It’s up to you - the City’s Steward.
