Frostpunk 2 received a massive content update that added Serenity Mode, Tales from the Frostland, district-based temperature settings, and more. However, as developer 11 bit studios notes, “Our journey is far from over.” It confirmed in an updated roadmap that the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions are still on track for launch this Summer.

The developer is “doing everything to deliver a polished product” for console players at launch, but current owners can expect even more content and improvements. A major content update will be available before every DLC launch for free. However, it’s also delaying the release of the second paid DLC Aurora to 2026 to accommodate the new features and ensure quality. The first, Spectrum, is still planned for this Autumn.

Frostpunk 2 is currently playable on PC – check out our review of the launch version. Though it received critical praise and neared 600,000 units sold as of April, fan response has been mixed due to the change in scale and a heavier focus on city-building.
