Next project in Frostpunk universe set for 2027 release, and 11 bit Studios is working on a new IP as well
Frostpunk developer 11 bit Studios has begun work on “the next project set in the Frostpunk universe”, which it plans to launch “as early as 2027”.
Eurogamer recently heard word of this new project from 11 bit CEO Przemysław Marszał, who was talking to me about the history of the studio, and about its future. Today, 11 bit has now confirmed the project in its latest financial results.
With two games released in the Frostpunk series already, and the series’ recent second entry still on wobbly ground with the community – Steam reactions are currently “mixed” – I asked Marszał whether the series had, for the moment, run its course, or whether there was a future for it.
Marszał replied: “We totally believe in Frostpunk. We believe in that IP. We totally believe in that fantasy. I don’t want to spoil it but I can tell you that in about two weeks, you will hear about something, so it’s really soon. We totally believe in the IP and we will definitely work on the IP more.”
He added: “On the Frostpunk 2 front, we are doing a lot of work right now. The patch is coming, the DLCs are coming, etc. We see the problems with the game, we know the strengths of the game, and we are working on that game. But that’s not only it. Frostpunk is definitely one of our key IPs, key games, and we love the IP so, yeah, we will work on that more.”
