In Frostpunk, players are tasked with maintaining a city and its inhabitants as they try to survive the harsh post-apocalyptic conditions. Set in an alternate take on the industrial revolution where the world has mysteriously frozen over, players will be able to “discover new technologies, explore frozen wastelands and most importantly, manage and rule society to prepare it for life in an unforgiving world."

While there’s no release date just yet the game “should be out in the summer,” according to lead designer Kuba Stokalski, with the studio currently focussing on ensuring the console versions’ control scheme feels “natural” and “intuitive.”

Both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 editions of the game come with all previously released updates and content found on the PC version, including The Fall of Winterhome scenario.
