As 2018 marches on, 11 bit studios is moving into the final stage of development on Frostpunk – a city-survival game where keeping warm is tantamount to staying alive, and every decision comes at a cost. Lifting the curtain on new, rich world-lore is the game’s Art Director, Przemyslaw Marszal:

‘It’s been a long journey, and I’m happy to see Frostpunk reaching its final stages. The game evolved into an unprecedented mixture of survival, city-builder, and society simulator. In the upcoming weeks, we’ll be releasing a new gameplay trailer intriguingly named “Irreversible”, and unveil more details about the game, including the release date. Before that happens, let me tease you with new concept art, screenshots, and in-game gifs presenting Automatons – Huge, steam-powered machines that are the pinnacle of human engineering, used to ease the burden of hard labor from your wearied citizens. They’re an example of pragmatic and authentic steampunk technology, used to endure cold and ensure humanity’s chances of survival. Of course, automatons are just one of many features you may encounter in your city – there’s plenty more to see in the upcoming trailer! And stay tuned for more developer updates from us about Frostpunk features”
