Frostpunk 2 is a sequel to 11 Bit Studios' beloved survival and strategy game, set 30 years later when humanity starts craving a different fuel. Today, the game's developers posted a Steam message to announce that the game release is postponed to September, 20th.
The developers state that they decided on the delay after closed testing in which players rated the game 8/10. Based on player feedback, they decided to prioritize some elements of the game for the final version and add some new things. The most changes will be the interface, which players have complained about as not sufficiently readable and intuitive in some segments.
As far as the new mechanics are concerned, the so-called Zoom Stories will be introduced, with which we will get the option of a closer look at certain objects and the inhabitants located in and around them.
In the Steam message, design director (Jakub Stokalski) and art director (Lukasz Juszczyk) stated: "Based on the surveys we received after playing Beta, the average rating you gave us was 8 out of 10. We’re super grateful for that! At the same time, it was only a small slice of a work-in-progress, still-growing game. While our backlog is plentiful, it was an opportunity for us to listen to what you enjoyed, and what didn’t quite land yet".
And more following: "This allowed us to prioritise things better, and bring upfront the features and modifications we were already working on. But we also realised that to guarantee the best possible experience on launch, we need more time to finish the development of Frostpunk 2. That’s why we made the difficult decision to postpone its release to September 20th, 2024".
