Clearly
the
folk
over
at
11
Bit
Studios
did
not
sign
a
decree
forcing
children
to
become
laborers
because
Frostpunk
2
has
been
delayed
until
later
this
year.
The
announcement
was
made
on
Steam
where
Game
Directors
Jakub
Stokalski
and
Łukasz
Juszczyk
revealed
that
Frostpunk
2
will
now
launch
on
September
22
instead
of
in
July.
Apparently,
this
is
due
to
feedback
the
team
got
during
Frostpunk
2’s
closed
beta
which
took
a
few
months
ago.
“Just
over
two
months
ago,
you
had
the
chance
to
play
Frostpunk
2
Beta,
and
we
greatly
appreciate
the
feedback
you
shared
with
us,”
the
duo
said
on
Steam.
“So
much
so
that
it
took
us
some
time
to
take
everything
in,
as
there
was
both
a
lot
of
praise
for
our
work
(who
doesn’t
like
praise,
right?),
but
also
many
keen
observations
on
areas
we
could
improve
or
add
to
the
final
game.”
Set
in
a
Steampunk
version
of
the
1800s
with
everything
having
gone
to
an
iced-over
hell
due
to
a
sudden
ice
age
which
somehow
snuck
up
on
humanity
people
have
decided
to
leave
the
cities
in
order
to
found
new
homes
using
large
generators,
massive
machines
that
burn
coal
to
provide
some
warmth
amidst
conditions…
“Just
over
two
months
ago,
you
had
the
chance
to
play
Frostpunk
2
Beta,
and
we
greatly
appreciate
the
feedback
you
shared
with
us,”
the
duo
said
on
Steam.
“So
much
so
that
it
took
us
some
time
to
take
everything
in,
as
there
was
both
a
lot
of

but
also
many
keen
observations
on
areas
we
could
improve
or
add
to
the
final
game.”
According
to
the
pair,
the
average
rating
for
the
beta
was
8
out
of
10
which
the
team
was
“super
grateful.”
But
the
beta
also
allowed
them
to
spot
some
things
that
didn’t
work.
“As
we
analyzed
your
feedback
and
prioritized
things
we
want
to
add
to
the
game,
we
realized
that
to
properly
do
them
justice
–
and
to
guarantee
the
best
possible
experience
at
launch
–
we
need
more
time
to
finish
the
development
of
Frostpunk
2”
said
Stokalski
and
Łukasz
Juszczyk.
While
the
delay
does
suck
(speaking
as
someone
who
freaking
loved
the
first
game)
it
does
mean
that
11
Bit
Studios
are
going
to
deliver
an
even
bigger
experience.
They’re
adding
in
a
new
reshaping
feature
for
districts,
a
new
resource
and
a
host
of
other
changes
to
the
gameplay
such
as
“More
detailed
and
flexible
workforce
management.”
On
top
of
that,
the
beta
revealed
that
people
felt
like
“you
lost
attachment
to
individuals”
due
to
the
game’s
much
bigger
scale.
To
address
that,
11
Bit
Studios
are
adding
a
new
feature
called
“Zoom
Stories”
which
they
say
are
“basically
zoom-ins
available
in
specific
city
parts
that
allow
you
to
watch
the
day-to-day
life
of
your
citizens.”
Frostpunk
2
will
be
out
for
PC,
PS5
and
Xbox
Series
on
September
22,
and
will
launch
on
Game
Pass
on
day
1.
