It also confirmed that the Xbox Series X/S and PS5 versions would launch this Summer. Autumn sees the arrival of the first paid DLC, Spectrum, touted to provide more details about “ourselves and the people of our great city in more ways than one…” The second paid DLC, Aurora, is also coming this year, while the third, as-of-yet-unnamed DLC, arrives next year.

Aside from the May 8th update, this Spring also seemingly has other improvements inbound. April 24th marks the seventh anniversary of the first game’s launch.

Stay tuned for more details in the coming months. Frostpunk 2 is available for PC and has sold over 500,000 copies since launch. Despite relatively strong critical acclaim (check out our review, where we gave it a nine out of ten), it’s received criticism from fans due to performance issues and fundamental gameplay differences over the original.
