11 bit studios Showcase Delivers New Trailers, DLC and Game Launches, Roadmaps, and a New Peek at Frostpunk 1886
Today, 11 bit studios hosted its first-ever digital showcase, presenting a wide range of updates, new trailers, and behind-the-scenes insights across both internally developed and published titles. The show highlighted major content drops for The Alters and Frostpunk 2, two new trailers for Death Howl - launching December 9th on PC, and on February 19th on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch - an update on the road ahead for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault in Early Access, and a deeper look at how work is progressing on Frostpunk 1886.
First up, two flagship titles from 11 bit studios’ in-house teams took to the stage. Today, The Alters, a sci-fi personal survival game, receives its first Free Major Content Update, introducing highly requested features like Relax Mode and Photo Mode, alongside a revamped saving system that allows saving on exit and during key gameplay moments. The update also adds a card-based mini-game, a new black-and-white noir-styled story mission, and more.
At the same time, the society-survival city-builder Frostpunk 2 sees the launch of its first DLC - Fractured Utopias - which reforges the Utopia Builder Mode and arrives simultaneously for the recently released console version. In addition, all Frostpunk 2 owners will receive a batch of new free content included in the latest game update. Both The Alters and Frostpunk 2 will continue to be supported with fresh content and DLCs through 2026.
Next, a duo of publishing titles - Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault and Death Howl - had their moments in the spotlight. Death Howl launches tomorrow, December 9th, on PC, and with a free demo still available on Steam, players can experience the appealing uniqueness of this deck-builder infused with soulslike elements, action-RPG exploration of eerie biomes, and tactical, grid-based combat. Console players can hop into the journey through grief on February 19th, 2026.
Meanwhile, the developers at Digital Sun shared a “work-in-progress” outlook for Moonlighter 2’s next steps in its Early Access journey and thanked players for the continuous feedback that is directly shaping development.
To mark the moment, Death Howl and Moonlighter 2 have extended their spotlight beyond the showcase, with new themed merchandise appearing in our store, alongside limited discounts on select apparel.
Understandably, that’s not all that’s happening behind the curtain at 11 bit studios. Among its secrets, the studio also shared a substantial update from the production of Frostpunk 1886 - a reimagining of the bestselling first game in the series, rebuilt from the ground up using the power of Unreal Engine and expanded with new mechanics and content. Maciej Sulecki, Game Director of the project, highlighted several current areas of focus, including: enhancing citizen behavior through improved animations and motion capture; adding more expressive slices of daily life in New London to deepen emotional resonance; a redesigned lighting system emphasizing the harshness of the Frostland; and upgraded building textures for a more grounded, immersive city.
“Keep in mind that we’re still about two years ahead of release, so there is much more on the way,” he concluded.
