Trailers

The reveal trailer is purely cinematic and sets up the setting for the sequel. It also makes sure to let us know it will be just as brutal as the first game. Frostpunk 2 is set 30 years after the original, and instead of bunkering down during a worldwide volcanic winter, you now need to lead humanity as best you can in the aftermath of so much death and destruction.

The City Must Not Fall trailer highlights the political tensions of a world where resources and hope are more scarce than ever. According to co-director Jakub Stokalski, “Frostpunk 2 is still a game about the City and its society. But inner turmoils, sparked by social rising differences, mean that players will be facing new threats of kinds. We use a postapocalyptic setup to tell a meaningful story about human ambition. Because, ultimately, what can end us is not nature – it’s human nature.” Your job as the
