In a new update to Frostpunk 1886, which 11 bit studios promises is “so much more” than a remaster, game director Maciej Sułecki revealed how it’s making the Frostland feel more desolate yet alive than before. Check out the video below.

As with the original, you can see your citizens wandering around, except this time, they sport more detailed animations. Motion capture is employed to truly make them stand out and, hopefully, motivate you to keep them alive. The lighting system has also been upgraded, causing the city’s glow to stand out amid the harsh weather.

Even the building textures have been overhauled and look more worn down, which fits the post-apocalyptic experience. Of course, all this is a work in progress – Frostpunk 1886 won’t release until 2027. However, the inclusion of new content, mechanics, mod support, and a new Progress Path offers hope for what’s to come. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.

11 bit studios has unveiled its 2027-bound Frostpunk title, and surprisingly, it’s a remake of the original. Developed on Unreal Engine 5, Frostpunk 1886 offers a new Progress Path and mod support. However, it’s also adding on to the original experience.

In a new Steam post, the developer confirmed it would implement “tons of new content” alongside new mechanics, events, buildings and technologies, offering “new ways to shape your society.” Players can also expect DLC to “expand upon the world.”

While it’s a long way from release, 11 bit studios said it would reveal more information in the latter half of 2025, including the first gameplay and behind-the-scenes content. Interestingly, this includes the title, perhaps indicating that Frostpunk 1886 isn’t the final name. Time will tell, so stay tuned.

Frostpunk launched in 2018 for PC before heading to Xbox One and PS4 in 2019. Set in a post-apocalyptic world marred by the Great Freeze, players establish a new city in the light of the Heat Generator Tower to survive.

It received a sequel, Frostpunk 2, last year for PC. Check out our review and stay tuned for the console release this Summer for Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Frostpunk 1886 Announced, Out in 2027

11 bit studios has announced Frostpunk 1886, a remake of the first title in the long-running survival strategy franchise, out in 2027 for PC. A short announcement trailer showcases the Heat Generator Tower and several people screaming as a major storm rolls in.

The storm in question is the Great Frost, which plunged the world into a never-ending Winter. It began in 1886, and while many embarked on expeditions with Towers for research, the rest of the world slowly collapsed.

Touted as “rebuilt” in Unreal Engine, 11 bit studios said it’s “no mere visual overhaul” and that players can expect a new Purpose Path and mod support (which the original game lacked). Of course, it’s staying true to the original, which means plenty of tough decisions to ensure the survival of New London.

Stay tuned for more details and updates in the coming years. In the meantime, check out Frostpunk 2, available on PC and coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S this Summer. It will receive a major content update on May 8th and its first DLC, Spectrum, this Autumn.
