Frostpunk 2 1.3.0 – Strategy | City Builder [ARM ONLY]

Frostpunk 2 elevates the city-survival genre to a new level. Take the role of a Steward and lead your city through a cascade of calamities taking place in a postapocalyptic, snowy setting. Build large city districts with their string of endless needs and demands. Navigate through conflicting interests of factions that populate your metropolis. As the needs of the city grow and factional power at its core rises, only you can steer the society towards an uncertain future.

The city grows

The world is overtaken by an ever present winter, which makes expansion of the city the only way for the survival of mankind. In order to grow, the metropolis needs resources like coal and oil, just like its citizens require food and warmth. In Frostpunk 2, it’s your job to tackle this never ending circle of supply and demand.

City districts

Your city is divided into zones serving different purposes, such as housing or extraction. It’s up to you to build new ones and make sure that those already existing work in perfect unison.

Special buildings

In time, you will have to build places like City Hall or Research Institute. Inside these buildings, you will put forth laws and projects to ensure that your city develops in the proper direction.

Colonies

To ensure that your city growth will not falter, you have to venture into the frostland. There, you can build extensive colonies that will provide all the necessary resources.

Perlis of human nature

The number of your citizens steadily grows, making the task of governing them and satisfying their demands all the more challenging. As the Steward you will have to maneuver carefully across the interests of many groups inhabiting the city.

New Londoners

Your citizens can form communities and factions, each with different ideas for the city’s future. In the Council Hall you’ll put forth laws and negotiate them with the faction’s delegates.

Council Hall

Support of every faction inside the Council Hall costs dearly, as one’s faction ascension breeds discontent among others. That means you have to carefully think through every alliance.

Towards progress

The Research Institute is where you forge the city’s future. Each new project must be entrusted to a faction, forcing you to maneuver and form strategic alliances.

Factions

People of your city want to have a voice in how you run things. Each faction has its own ideology and ideas for the future, yet they also have one thing in common – insatiable thirst for power. Choose your allies in the Council Hall wisely.

Story Mode and Utopia Builder

The story of Frostpunk 2 introduces a multi-chapter saga set in the frozen wastes. Spanning across the life of the Steward this campaign lets you feel the burden of leadership as you take the responsibility for thousands of lives. At the same time, the sandbox mode called Utopia Builder with infinite play time leaves you room for boundless social and infrastructural experiments.

WHAT’S NEW

Version 1.3.0:

AppStore fixes

Saves should now be visible at all times, even when logged out of Game Center

New Map: The Pit

Large map with distinctive “proto-crater” pit counted as mountain terrain. built around the remnants of a failed Generator project.
Sandbox location available in Utopia Builder mode as a starting location or a Frostland colonization site, offering more variation to the gameplay.

Tales from the Frostland

Narrative-driven optional challenges designed to deepen Utopia Builder’s replayability and storytelling.

Take part in new challenges, each introducing a unique quest and storyline. Multiple Tales can be combined in a single playthrough. Complete a Tale to unlock a unique Monument Hub to “decorate” your city, but be careful: failure results in game over!

Important: All Tales are designed to be easily expanded and modded by the community in the future!

Overhauled Heating System

The biggest systemic change since launch: localized heat management bringing deeper strategy and consequences.

Recognizing the legacy of Frostpunk, we’ve brought back a familiar yet improved approach to heat management in Frostpunk 2, starting with a redesigned Generator UI for better control and feedback.

Now you can manage temperature by district, with unique local effects, and consequences when heat is lacking, such as sickness, injuries, or even death. Use the brand-new Heatmap View to visualize district temperature, insulation, heat sources, and proximity bonuses.

The changes affect more than just temperature, they also impact your citizens. They now react to heating shortages through negotiations, protests, or praise. Deaths are now tied to specific factions and communities.

We’ve expanded the tech tree and laws, adding:

• 9 new research topics
• 2 new buildings
• 3 rebalanced technologies
• 1 new law
• 5 reworked laws

Serenity Mode

A return of the beloved Frostpunk mode, offering a more relaxed playthrough.

We’ve brought back a well-loved mode for those who want to explore the Frostlands without too much stress. Serenity Mode includes:

Gentler weather

Abundant resources

Shorter whiteouts

No Fervour system (minimal protests, no faction conflict)

This mode is fully compatible with other difficulty presets (e.g., Survivor, Extreme).

Core Game Improvements

Subtle but impactful refinements across the board to improve playability and including hundreds of fixes!

As we continue our commitment to developing Frostpunk 2, we’d like to turn up the heat a little and give you an overview of the new content update and what awaits you in New London—starting today.

First of all, we’d like to thank you for all the feedback you’ve shared from the very beginning. It not only gives us valuable insights into what we can improve, but also sparks new ideas in our creative furnace every day. Without you, it would never have been possible to expand the Frostpunk universe as far as we have today.

We remain committed to delivering all the DLCs and updates for Frostpunk 2, creating new opportunities for the franchise – just as we did with the Artbook & Anthology Kickstarter, and of course, with the recently announced Frostpunk 1886. Each of these projects has its own dedicated team, pouring heart and effort into every detail.
