Frostpunk 2 launched for PC last September, and is set to release for consoles later this year. However, 11 bit studios still has more in the pipeline for the not-too-distant future.
In the studio’s latest quarterly earnings report, president Przemysław Marszał revealed that the company is planning on releasing a new title in the Frostpunk universe at some point in 2027, with production already underway. That’s in addition to a separate, larger-scale project targeting a 2029 release, which doesn’t seem to be related to Frostpunk.
“As a developer and publisher, we intend to diversify both the scale of our projects and their development timelines,” Marszał said. “This also means capitalising on near-term, financially attractive opportunities. This underlies our decision to initiate production on the next project set in the Frostpunk universe, which we plan to launch as early as 2027. In parallel, we have commenced development on a larger-scale title, targeted for release in 2029.”
Presumably, the next Frostpunk will be a relatively smaller-scale title, considering the fact Frostpunk 2 only just launched. What that will mean in precise terms remains to be seen, but fans of 11 bit’s post-apocalyptic city-building survival franchise certainly have reason to be excited.
