Here's the official feature set of Frostpunk 2 from the fact sheet shared with the press:
Frostpunk 2 takes place 30 years after the apocalyptic blizzard. You play as the leader of a resource-hungry metropolis where expansion and internal conflicts are an unavoidable reality.
As the City grows, creating and passing new laws becomes a more complex matter. The people slowly divide into factions with different, often contradictory visions of the future. The Council is a place where these ideas clash, sometimes violently. It’s your role as a Steward to ensure that the city will not fall because of those conflicts.
FEATURES
- Revisit the Frostland and face a new deadly threat to your City’s future - human nature
- Build your City on a new scale by creating entire districts with different purposes: industrial, scientific, etc.
- Ensure that all parts of the City work in unison with each other like cogs of a giant, resource-hungry machine
- Erect The Council building where you'll forge laws of the growing metropolis
- Navigate between different factions and their ideas for the future, try to tame their ambitions as well as unrestrained thirst for power
- Research technologies that will change the face of your City
Frostpunk 2 is also coming later to consoles, and that includes Xbox Game Pass, too.
