It feels like just yesterday we were building the original Frostpunk on our internal Liquid Engine. Since then, we've learned, and explored new possibilities, especially through developing Frostpunk 2 on Unreal Engine 5. That experience showed us the immense potential of this powerful tool... and sparked an idea.

What if we brought the original Frostpunk back in a new, exciting form?

Thanks to the amazing feedback from our community and the advancements of Unreal Engine 5, we’ve officially started work on a new version of Frostpunk. It’s more than just a visual upgrade. We’re talking about rebirth of this game.

For us this isn't just nostalgia - it's an evolution, and we’re committed to delivering a game that feels both familiar and thrillingly new at the same time.

We’re aiming to launch it in 2027. Our team is already hard at work to ensure this release lives up to the legacy of the original, while pushing the boundaries of what Frostpunk can become.

Thank you for your support over the years and stay warm.

More updates will follow soon.
