Creators of the critically acclaimed This War of Mine, 11 Bit Studios, are celebrating the incredible success of their latest video game, Frostpunk. The city-building survival game is notable for its unique setting that places gamers in a frozen, dystopian, steampunk world. Having sold 3 million copies in just three years, the game has found a receptive audience.
The game was initially released in 2018 on PC, and the following year it made its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Piggybacking on the success of the video game, in late 2020 a Kickstarter campaign launched to create a board game version of Frostpunk. Tabletop gamers embraced this idea and fully funded the project within the first hour of the campaign’s launch.
If you haven’t had a chance to play Frostpunk, now is a great time to pick it up! 11 Bit Studios is inviting gamers to join them in celebration, by offering limited-time discounts on Steam for all their games. You can also enjoy the base game of Frostpunk as part of your Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, playable on PC and Xbox consoles.
It is also worth noting that the soundtrack is being gifted to all Season Pass holders on Steam. This soundtrack perk includes music from Frostpunk’s expansions, The Last Autumn and On the Edge, along with all-new tracks from composer Piotr Musiał. They are also working on a vinyl version of the soundtrack that will release later this year. If you’re eager to listen to the expansion soundtracks, they can now be accessed for free on YouTube.
