So I would say that the overall themes of the game are not going to be all beds of roses. And again, what will happen next, this is the big question. "And Frostpunk 2, in this sense, is actually a post-apocalyptic game, in a way. And in this sense it was doom and gloom and everything worse and worse all around.

"But I would say that it's interesting, because internally with Łukasz Juszczyk, my co-director and co-partner in crime, we often talk about Frostpunk was really an apocalyptic game, right?

I asked about the planet itself, and if it's still getting colder or if the climate is recovering and steering toward a warmer and potentially more hopeful future.

While this is a great announcement for those who enjoyed the first game, fans naturally won’t be satisfied until they can experience Frostpunk 2 for themselves."The question really becomes, what's next?" said Stokalski. What we aim to deliver to players is an experience that goes vastly beyond that of the original Frostpunk,” says Stokalski. “ Our ambition is to do more than a straight-up sequel.
