Frostpunk 2 | Official Gameplay Trailer 

*THE CITY MUST NOT FALL!!*

THE CITY MUST NOT FALL!@@JT-kf3bf

Unless it is Birmingham

Hopefully so

THE CITY MUST LIVE

It reminds me of how it was easier to be a jerk or a psychopath in Fallout 1/2/Tactics. My victims had no voice. Hearing their reaction to my actions in 3/New Vegas/4 made it harder to be a murderhobo.

​@@brunokopte1347 made it harder for some...

@@nathancarter7020 I'm aware.

when is the game expected to release ?

Welp…time to become the senate and start a civil war…

hell ya great comment.

But the release date... its so far away -Discontent rises

@@tropicalcomedy6497 hahahahahhahhah best answer ever :D

It looks awful. Like a Mac menu. The previous was way better.

@@LLlap UI / UX is not just the menu at the top. It includes other screens like Dialogues, decision and voting screens etc. They look pretty good compared to 90% percent of the games out there. Don't be a whiner.

Needs a dark mode though, hate how it's all white makes playing at night time a pain.

@@singed420snowinit9 Like I get what you are saying, but I feel like a dark mode for the UI won't make much of a difference when the game takes place in a snowy wasteland... if your UI is dark, the entire rest of the screen will still be fairly white due to large volumes of snow

@@singed420snowinit9an “Oil Black” UI style would be pretty cool.

It really is a oh no moment

It really is an “oh… fuck” moment, isn’t it?

Oh no we fuck

love the comment, but also is this a hunterxhunter reference? lol

"Hold my technology cores"

Make it a series after release.

LET THE ENGINEERS RISE AND TAKE OVER THE CITY. THEIR EXPERTISE WILL ENSURE OUR FUTURE!

@@CatLover-gk8uu The city to those who founded it. Long live the working class !!

oh ı pravus

Praise Pravus

Best comment imo

Nice to see the child labor laws are still working as intended and better than ever.

He better rise to the occasion, lest he become flat Stanley.

First time things were still getting off the ground so emergency powers now everything is established and more stable politics try to kill you lol

n fact, the simplest point is that players can accurately grasp all the publicly available details in the game, such as resources, population, etc. If you want to play reality, first put a mosaic on the statistics column above, such as wood:??? Coal:??? Or your staff lies, give you fake data, let the player not know that true data. Looking at the weather forecast, the storm is coming tomorrow, and the technology you have arranged can study+1 heat tonight. With thousands of coal inventories, you feel very safe. The storm arrived early that night, but the technology was not fully researched. It turned out that the staff had falsely reported the progress. So you ordered the overload to be activated, but unexpectedly the tower was about to explode! These days, they have secretly lowered the thermal level of the tower and turned on overload, just to save coal and give you a nice data figure! Fear swept through, and people began to blindly demolish all the facilities they could see, futilely reinforcing their houses and looting the warehouse supplies. You tried to call the guards to stop them, but you were horrified to find that the guards were also among the crowd. You are very desperate, pulling out your handgun in an attempt to stop their suicidal behavior, but the angry crowd roars at you, "You incompetent and foolish leader, you are going to kill all of us!" They approached you and beat you until seven or eight bones were broken. They took off your clothes and wanted to hang you under the energy tower. As suffocation and drowsiness spread, the final scene you see is people starting to kill each other, just for those few wooden boards or a can. If it were me, I would definitely be very desperate.

excellent analysis.

They ought to pay you to write their ad copy dang

Speaking of statehood wonder if in this game or any future iteration or dlc there will be a war of some kind, weather that be ideological or for resources with other smaller factions or even other city's. We almost had that in the last dlc with the outpost rebellion and the small factions surrounding it, so it's not like it's out of the question.

"that your survival was not guaranteed, people needed hope to live another day, recourses are scarce and if you won’t make any decision, rash or otherwise, you are guaranteed to be frozen and forgotten" Yeah, that's kinda central to what I liked about the first game. With respect, I'm kinda hoping your prediction for 2 is wrong, because I already own a lot of steampunk Civ-like city management games, and none of them have any sense of the grittiness and frigid fear of the first game. Sitting behind a desk analyzing spreadsheets tends to do that.

I'm getting huge "Snowpiercer" vibes

yeah bro educating the future generations for free, real greedy

@discographetti-Woah comrade take it easy, focus on making rent with your 6 roommates.

@@christianmathew398 You present a compelling argument for why better funded and accessible education is needed!

@richardanderson8107-Funny I think the same way about comrades like you except the education is more labor intensive.

@@christianmathew398 Thank you for further proving the point!

ideas are not far away about what else could be added. Just check how civilization or age of wonders expanded. Also you could check what mods would make a more realistic experience. Politics, AoW could serve as base ideas on orientation (like order vs faith earlier), you could make overlapping rulesets about government. The other big thing is mentioned in this trailer: pollution. I could think of sever systems for handling biowaste, introducing animals (seen any picture from the early 1900's? Full of horses, donkeys, canary birds in mines. It could also expand on being more detailed about each building, like how and what you make in the hothouses, what systems needs to be researched for effectively making rations more diverse. What about making food/ration choices like more meat/veggies/etc? Introducing wind in the city as a system that removes smog/smoke, gardens, parks that can effectively remove some of it. How people's health is, like endurance/strength/mind/sanity for different "roles" of work. Imagine a "worker" (in FrostPunk1) being more detailed or even changing according to what job it works on: miners becoming strong and more enduring about air quality than someone sitting all day in your propaganda center or workshop handling plans of research. They could become shortsighted, being basically unfit for roles as explorers. Or manufacturing of eyeglasses like earlier you were manufacturing implants. What about manufacturing clothing for people? There is much depth if you look closely on the possibilities. The more realistic it feels the harder it gets, the deeper each rabbit hole gets. Balancing playability vs detail is always the key, and they did really well in the first game about keeping us on our toes about all the needs already :) I felt such "just one more turn" feeling too long ago, they handled keeping pressure up damn well already. High hopes for the next one and +1 copy sold at full price.

Free DLC of 11Bit studios HOPE RISES

Don't jinx it. It's been delayed a lot. I'm waiting for the game to release before I make my judgement on it...

Everything related to Frostlands is risky but the Scouts are our role models 💪

@@11bitstudios Your scouts are literal chads in the frostland, if they can fight bears with their bare hands they can do anything😎

@@albion5173 💙💙💙

@@11bitstudios Yes as Bricky famously said "Scouts, Or by their scientific name No complainous, Big diccus"

@@11bitstudios Can you tell me when my Scouts will get back to me? They entered Tesla City about 30 years ago and have yet to send me any updates. Surely they're just gorging themselves on endless automated luxuries, right? Right?

Grim? Check Dystopian? Check Hope? Rises Discontent? Falls

​@@11bitstudios Hotel? Trivago

​@@tortorsk3416 Well that came unexpected 😂

Isn't the goal to keep people from having to scream for necessity

Yes! It's like an invokation, a plead to the player. Love it in a game.

Me neither...

Looks like mobile game 💀

'Tragically beautiful' is such a nice way to put it 💙 You can listen to the Frostpunk Playlist while we wait for Frostpunk 2's release! open.spotify.com/playlist/5ZzY44J1qn2zljsYh0OBEW?si=485826f4002540fd

OMG I KNOW the soundtrack was so goated in the first game

I know! the soundtrack of the 1st game has genuinely brought tears to my eyes, and that's not common for me. I am a big music lover though lol.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown...

Can't wait to listen to all these citizens yelling at me about everything

And me - I started channeling my inner ddrjake and feel like sending them back to work with a mouth full of sawdust burgers

Mobile game 💀

Да здравствуют 24 часовые смены и компот из нефти!!!

ЗА СУП ИЗ ОПИЛОК И КОМПОТ ИЗ НЕФТИ

Now that's the spirit! There is a new deadly threat to your City’s future - human nature...

​@11bitstudios i really hope the emotions will be the same crazy level as Frostpunk 1. And if compositor of music is Petr Musial I WILL CUM

Nope, we went to "Steward" :D

It's not about survival anymore. It's just about not collapsing under the weight of all those parties that want their votes. So The City Must Not Fall

@ivanthenotsogreat9097 bigger stakes? The first game was about the survival of human kind itself. This is about the problem that comes after. They both have great stakes but the 2nd game couldnt even happen if the people from 1 didnt survive. Cant wait for this game!

Coincidence? I don't think so...

Ulas... We're hungry!

Similar story, went and bought the first game on sale a few hours ago before this dropped and without knowing there was a second one being made, good timing lol.

@@asneakychicken322I’ve had it a couple years but just beat it two weeks ago, it really is amazing. Better time than any to play!

and when the storm hit, the adrenaline really started pumping. the soundtrack makes it even better.

It's still brutal for me

same, im STILL struggling to build the generator in the last autumn, im making it to the end of the game without getting fired but im only managing to get the generator just over halfway finished

@@SilverSkyCloud i had just a sliver of progress left, and i still got the bad ending in last autumn. i just called it a win, since it was a matter of seconds anyways.

Last Autumn is brutal. I managed a good ending after 10th playthrough. You need people, people and more people while watching that motivation drops like nobody business eeek.

Hear me Hear me

Hope rises, discontent falls.@@ChangDae1993

Order People! Let's march to -work- the cinemas to watch it again!

No? Put that faith into a frostpunk 3 and not a show to bankrupt them lmao

lmao maybe 15 years ago. What TV studio out there would actually make something decent?

No don't make everything into TV please. just use the money from this on trilogy. just don't. The maximum of other medium is a board game, which they already done on the first one. Or to put more stretch, put it into some kind of animated series belt, kind of Love Death Robot. Just an episode. That's it.

​@@HellHappensarcane,valaront show

Please Nooooooo!!!! Don’t ruin the franchise with a tv show!

Hearing that air siren rips the soul out of you

Discontent falls greatly.

also it gives a big cringe with the amount of "steward" i have heard. STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD STEWARD

@@omnimoon3553 I think the point was that you’re being pulled in multiple directions, with people specifically looking for YOUR response, not just airing grievances in general.

В честь такого события выдать всем двойную порцию супа из опилок и сократить рабочую смену до 10 часов Слава Ебеньграду Слава Капитану

Когда выходит то

Тяночки...

Опа. А я все ждал такой комментарий. Слава лучшему капитану Вульфу. Ebengrad must survive

Восхваления не видно, потому что все на 24-часовых сменах в шахтах

Time lost, or experiences gained

Metro system? Using steam to power it? To bring steam for all other purposes around the city at the same time perhaps too.

@@MrAnothis Have trains to transport people and goods around the sity since there are no cars or horses to make delivery's.

I was thinking it could be transit?

Has to be transit or petroleum delivery. In FP1, there was at most 700 people, small enough to feasibly walk everywhere. But according to a screenshot New London now has little over 20k, and the cities will obviously be a lot bigger. So some kind of transport will probably be necessary

Pretty sure the pipes are for oil, since oil as a resource (instead of coal or in addition? unclear) was a pretty prominent part of the teaser material.

I'd definitely recommend playing the first, or watching a playthrough before this one comes out. The story of 2 will take place directly after the ending of 1. So you'll get the full story by playing both. I can't wait for 2 either though :). Let us face this frozen hell together, comrade.

Thank you! We appreciate the feedback and support 💙

@@11bitstudios Can you add jiggle physics pls

I see what u did there

From 11 bit studios with love 💙

If more gaming companies saw the development process as more of an artform, maybe we'd get better games - I agree 100%!

Agreed, This War of Mine and Frostpunk are absolutely incredible games. There's nothing else like them.

Oh and throw in some Post Victorian Steampunk political vibes. Something that is absent due to people not realizing the politics of Steampunk

sounds like chatgpt tbh

Favourite*

it's favorite in US English@@comrade_commissar3794

​@@comrade_commissar3794 favorite if you're not in the UK.

@@knusperhirsch7056 we invented the language therefore its spelt favourite

@@knusperhirsch7056 Wrong. Every country in the Commonwealth of Nations spells favourite correctly.

Latest research: milky gray > dark gray

Tbh looks worse to me. Of course, it's not a final state and it's also a matter of personal preference. For me, dark UI suited the game better.

@@milanseitlerthe lighter colour just gives the vibe that society has moved on from the first game. Which is evident from the larger cities and governments

i wont buy the game for milky gray menu ! tbh this must be just a dlc for fp1

@@milanseitler Considering the usage of yellow blue and red colors in the game i think the milky gray is better for the color way, the colors would clash and be muted by a gray themme

And for a nascent post victory society that had only cast away the institutions of bloodlines and divine right, this is going to be a monumental task

The only thing deadlier than the fire within the city, is the ice that lies outside it.

It seems Propaganda Centre and Prisons are going to have a lot of hard work!

@@digosalgueiro I think I saw something in the trailer that mentioned Technocrats, so does that mean we'll be building universities? What about culture? Military? Police? God, there's so much that could be possible!

Yeah, it seems there will be a lot of ramifications of society in this new game, lets see how it goes, :D

nah bro, trying to find symbolism in everything is a trap, quit while you can

@@hypelucas it's obviously deliberate symbolism though, don't be so negative

I hate it tho.

@Super-BallSharp-Then don’t buy it if a menu color bothers you so much.

I hate the white UI. In the era of darkmode, I sure hope it's changeable.

I don't like the white though. I miss the old gray-blue

@@Minamoto130I would like a progressively blacken UI for oil dependency or that old grey blue to replying on steam.

Nah the white looks almost "relaxing" for such a stressfull high-stakes game

It's just a white bar on the top and bottom. There is no theme to it and feels like I am playing in windowed mode. At least the original UI had transparency to see the rest of the screen.

Emotion, division, greed. Those are the forces that can fell the City.

Difficulty is relative when it comes to city management. For example, there are many Civ-like games that are intellectually difficult and complex, but not scary or atmospheric at all. Frostpunk 1 was not intellectually difficult or complex, but it was extremely scary and atmospheric. It neither relied nor really benefited from spreadsheet analysis. A lot of people seem to have complained about the small scale and simplified resource management of Frostpunk 1. I agree it had more in common with This War of Mine than Civilization. I'm sincerely hoping that remains the case, because I have lots of complex steampunk Civ-like games already and I like them a lot less than I liked Frostpunk. Frostpunk reduced to bureaucracy will be a frozen banality of horror.

frostpunk 3 would be worse, not only been pressured by citizen complain and survive the snow, but also tried to prevent world war on global cooling ice age

looks shit

​@@darkman7009unless we're the one fighting the war

Now we have to deal with democracy! The laws we choose might now pass. I can see a scenario of death by stalled legislation.
