Frostpunk 1886 developer update, concept artwork
Refined mechanics, major visual upgrade, and an ambitious vision.
11 bit studios has released a new developer update for Frostpunk 1886, its upcoming Unreal Engine-based reimagining of the city survival game Frostpunk, in which director Maciej Sulecki walks viewers through the game’s refined mechanics, major visual upgrade, and ambitious vision.
The update highlights the following improvements:
- Smarter, more expressive citizens driven by improved animations and motion capture; in this city, every shiver counts.
- Richer slices of daily life across New London, building deeper emotional connection to the lives you’re responsible for (no pressure).
- A redesigned lighting system to sharpen the brutal beauty of the Frostland and let the cold truly bite.
- Overhauled building textures to make our fragile, flickering civilization feel even more tangible and lived-in.
Frostpunk 1886 is due out for PC via Steam in 2027.
