The Cities Must not Fall as Frostpunk 2 Unveils its New Feature - Multiple Colonies
Today marks the release of the eighth and final episode of the City Unbound development diary series, and it focuses on a new feature coming to Frostpunk 2: multiple colonies. This news comes directly from the Frostpunk 2 team in Warsaw, and they're excited to dive deeper into this previously untouched feature that dramatically raises the tension. Once New London expands to the point of having multiple colonies spread across the frostland, the stakes are no longer limited to one city- and survival is anything but guaranteed.
"In many ways, larger colonies are like cities themselves, with their own economy, logistics, and colonists," said game directors Lukasz Juszczyk and Jakub Stokalski."To establish a colony, players must relocate part of the population from the main city. While New London retains control-there are no independent delegates and votings in the colonies-each outpost requires careful management. If managed well, these colonies can become vital hubs, specialising in food production or oil extraction."
The highly anticipated Frostpunk 2 is launching on PC on September 20th on PC and will be available on day one through PC Game Pass, with a console launch to follow later. The Digital Deluxe edition, which includes access to three yet-to-be-announced DLCs, an in-game item, and a variety of extras, will allow players to access game content 72 hours earlier, starting on September 17th.
