04/17/2025 Gaming

Great news for fans of the chilling city-builder! 11 bit Studios, the masterminds behind Frostpunk, have announced they're working on a new project set in the Frostpunk universe. According to CEO Przemysław Marszał, this new title is aiming for a release as early as 2027.

This announcement comes amidst mixed reactions to Frostpunk 2, the series' latest installment. While critics have praised the game, player reception has been more divided, with Steam reviews currently sitting at "mixed." Marszał acknowledges the community's concerns and assures fans that the studio is actively working on improvements, including patches and DLCs.

Despite the rocky launch of Frostpunk 2, 11 bit Studios remains committed to the franchise. "We totally believe in Frostpunk," Marszał stated. "We believe in that IP. We totally believe in that fantasy... We totally believe in the IP and we will definitely work on the IP more."

While details about the new Frostpunk project are scarce, Marszał hinted at an announcement in the coming weeks. It's unlikely to be related to the console version of Frostpunk 2, which is expected to launch soon.

More Than Just Frostpunk

Excitingly, the new Frostpunk game isn't the only project 11 bit Studios has in the works. Marszał revealed that the studio has begun working on two other projects, one connected to Frostpunk and another entirely new IP. "We totally believe we should do new things," he emphasized. This suggests that 11 bit Studios is not only expanding the Frostpunk universe but also exploring new creative avenues.

The announcement of a new Frostpunk game offers hope for the future of the series, even as the studio works to address the issues with Frostpunk 2. With a commitment to the IP and a desire to innovate, 11 bit Studios is poised to deliver more captivating and challenging experiences for players. Stay tuned for further updates on the new Frostpunk project and the studio's other endeavors!

It's worth noting that 11 bit Studios recently cancelled Project 8, a game that had been in development for several years. While details about Project 8 are limited, its cancellation highlights the challenges and risks involved in game development.
