Hello, this is nemonan, the development team behind Frostrain 2. As mentioned in our previous developer letter, we had planned to hold the public beta test sometime this week. However, after conducting an internal test today, we found a number of bugs and areas that still require additional improvement. We have determined that, in its current state, the game would not provide a satisfactory tes…
It feels like only yesterday that we were rushing to put out the May Developer Letter, but somehow, June is already coming to an end. Time really does fly. Half of 2026 has already passed. How is everyone doing with the goals you set for the new year? At this point, it feels like the long journey of Frostrain 2 is finally nearing its end. We expect to be able to present the full version to you…

It’s May! How has everyone been? Here, it feels like summer has already come rushing in. It’s very hot… and humid. How are things where you are? I hope it’s more comfortable there. We were so busy with development that we completely forgot, but we ended up missing the April developer letter! Please accept our apologies for sharing this news belatedly like this. We have more or less wrapped up w…

While trying to update the game more frequently, I was reminded why the previous 0.7 version updates stopped at 0.7.4. When there is no new content… there are naturally fewer things to fix, aren’t there? It is obvious, but I have realized it once again. Since we are currently continuing to develop new content, this update only includes relatively small changes focused mainly on balance adjustme…
This update is primarily a breathing-room patch focused on balance adjustments, bug fixes, and small improvements. Balance Conductors Choi Soonja Choi Soonja became noticeably easier after the last patch. On the default difficulty, the win rate rose to the level we intended, but Extreme Cold also became too easy as a result. High difficulty should remain high difficulty. So we are making Extrem…
This patch includes what we consider the “foundation” for rebalancing the difficulty gap between Choi Soon-ja and Im Seok-dae. We do not expect to solve everything in a single patch. We will continue correcting this balance through next week’s patch and the one after that. In addition, Perks are being added. From now on, if you purchase every artifact shown on a single shop page, you will unloc…
This update is focused on making Choi Sunja’s game easier to play and smoothing out Im Seokdae’s difficulty curve across the full run. Previously, the game may have felt as though it applied too much pressure too heavily in the late game, which could have made progression feel “unfair.” We want to alleviate that. This update includes a large number of changes, so there is a risk that we may not…

March is already coming to an end. This month, we were busy beta testing the new update, so this letter ended up arriving a bit later than usual. While we wait for the upcoming 0.8.1 update, I would like to briefly summarize what is coming. Our development team is, quite literally, “growing alongside the game.” We released Choi Sunja’s scenario to you through Early Access, and during that proce…
Hello! Starting this evening, we’ll be running a public beta test for the upcoming 0.8.0 update. Here’s how you can participate: · Right-click Frostrain 2 in your Steam Library. · Go to Properties → Game Versions & Betas . · Select the publicbeta branch to switch over. Please note that this patch is not permanent, and it may contain incomplete balance changes and bugs. If you enjoy the update a…
Hello! Today we wanted to reach out to those of you who might be wondering, “Why hasn’t there been an update for a month?” and feeling a bit anxious. We want to assure you that development is continuing every day, and we’re dedicating more than 13 hours a day purely to development. Today we’d like to share a bit about what’s being prepared for the upcoming 0.8.0 update. Im Seok dae and Decision…
Hello! We’re back with the 0.7.4 update. As with the previous update, this one is focused primarily on balance changes. We fixed several bugs that emerged from the optimization work done in the 0.7.3 update, made some adjustments to the world map, and applied a handful of small but important fixes. Now we’re taking a brief moment to catch our breath and then push full speed ahead toward the 0.8…
The Children of Engine, the Shadow Traders Association, and the Central Supply Bureau were broadly useful to the point that they could be recruited regardless of which synergy you were pursuing. By using the Children of Engine and the Shadow Traders Association to acquire Artifacts, then reducing the cycle down to 1 second with the Central Supply Bureau, it was possible to clear the game easily…
Hello! We hadn’t originally planned to post update notes this quickly, but since we’ve added the cloud save feature that many of you have been waiting for, we decided to push out this patch sooner than expected. (Tooltip pinning is a small bonus!) This update focuses more on quality-of-life improvements than major changes, but we believe it will be a welcome addition. However, there is one impo…

Steam review has finally been completed, and we are excited to announce that Early Access is now live! Below is our update roadmap leading up to the full release planned for the first half of 2026.

Hello to all conductors around the world who have been waiting for Frostrain 2. Today is the day we promised—the Early Access launch day for Frostrain 2. However, before sharing this news, we must first offer our sincere apologies. Depending on the current situation, it is possible that the game may not be released today. Last week, while preparing for the Early Access launch, we switched the s…
Hello! It’s been a full two months since our last update. We’re back with a huge number of changes. With so many updates, the game balance may feel a bit rough in places. We plan to gather data and gradually fine-tune things, so we kindly ask for your understanding. Please note that the demo will be closed before January 9 , so we encourage you to enjoy it as much as possible before then! We’ve…
Demo updates continue today! If you have thoughts on any changes, please share them freely. We carefully read every single comment—thank you! This balance update brings a mild upheaval for trains. Since this is a demo, we’re taking an aggressive approach to updates to gauge “what works best.” Specifically, we’re redistributing synergy effects that were overly concentrated at high levels toward…
This update is mostly focused on balance adjustments (we’ve heard all the complaints about Train Power , trust us…) along with a few bug fixes. Let’s take a look! Balance Knights of the Red Frost The Knights of the Red Frost synergy, despite being a 6-slot synergy, had a critical weakness — its peak performance relied heavily on just two high-tier cars (T3 and T4). Because of this, many players…

Next Fest is just around the corner! In this update, we’ve added new languages, fixed minor bugs, and improved various quality-of-life features. Shall we take a look? Balance · The recent adjustment to the Shadow Merchants’ Guild appears to have been successful. However, if you take an extreme number of product restocks early on, the restock count stacks up too much in the late game, so we’re a…
