The team has grown since the development of the first part and now consists of almost 70 members, which means that the sequel will be much bigger. “Thanks to the additional staff, we are able to improve all aspects of the game, from size to quality and gameplay. We have made it our goal to develop more than just a simple sequel. We want to offer players an experience that goes far beyond the original, ”says Jakub Stokalski, Co-Director of Frostpunk 2.
Jakub reveals some details of his vision for Frostpunk 2: “Players can expect a lot of far-reaching decisions and the freedom to influence the city and its society according to their ideas - but they also have to live with the consequences. Frostpunk 2 builds on the conflicts from its predecessor: weighing up the survival of humanity and human values as well as the struggle for survival against the arctic cold. But, more importantly, Frostpunk 2 adds a new layer to it all that will be present in many aspects of the game, be it political, social, or technological advancement - and that layer concerns the conflict between humans and their own nature .
