Frostpunk: 1886
In Frostpunk: 1886, we are returning to the time and place it all began ― New London, 1886 — by rebuilding the original Frostpunk in Unreal Engine, enhanced with new content, refined mechanics, and visual upgrades. Every addition is crafted to offer new ways to shape your society. The game introduces new content while staying true to the legacy of the original Frostpunk, sticking to its premise and unique gameplay feel. We hope this will be a great introduction to the world of Frostpunk for newcomers, but also a title that die-hard fans would love to play on repeat. Take on the role of the Captain, come back to New London in 1886 and challenge yourself to ensure your society's survival. What will you do when pushed to the breaking point? Who will you become in the process?
- New events, Mechanics, Buildings, & Purpose Path: Our goal is to build on the original Frostpunk and expand it by adding new content, giving you even more tools to manage your citizens and infrastructure as the ruler of the last city on Earth. That means new events, mechanics, laws, technologies and buildings. Also, a brand new Purpose Path in addition to the existing ones of Faith and Order.
- Frostpunk Experience on Unreal Engine: While limited by our in-house Liquid Engine on which the first Frostpunk was created, we've been looking for other ways to expand the game. The development of Frostpunk 2 made us realize how much the experience of the original could be improved using the Unreal Engine. It became apparent that rebuilding Frostpunk in the Unreal Engine will make it a richer, more immersive experience with enhanced visuals and performance.
- Mod Support: For years, players have asked us for mod support, and we couldn't be happier to finally make it happen! The new engine opens the door to new content, future DLCs, and even community-driven content. We're thrilled to give you more ways to explore, expand, and personalize your Frostpunk experience.
