Frostpunk: 1886 is a remake of the best-selling survival strategy game titled Frostpunk, originally released in 2018 for personal computers (later also released for consoles). The new version was developed by the Polish team 11 bit studios, which initiated the series, and stands out from the original due to a number of elements.
The biggest novelty is the change of the game engine, which resulted in improved graphics. The developers decided to transfer the content of the original (created based on the proprietary Liquid Engine) to Unreal Engine technology. The developers used the experience from producing the second part of the series on Unreal Engine, released on PC in 2024.
The changed technology was supposed to allow the creators to significantly expand Frostpunk while maintaining the atmosphere from the original. Frostpunk: 1886 brings new events, mechanics, laws, technologies, and buildings. In addition, a third goal path was added, which s the already existing ones - Faith and Order.
Another big novelty is the extensive for mods created by players.
Frostpunk: 1886 was built on the pillars established by the original. The game takes us to the ice-bound world of 1886, to the city of New London, built around a powerful coal reactor, providing the inhabitants with life-giving warmth. During the game, we take on the role of the manager of this metropolis, and our main goal is to ensure its survival, and subsequently - its development.
We gather resources, expand the city (based on a circular plan), develop technology, and also make various decisions. The choices we make are rarely black and white. We often have to be guided not so much by the good of the people directly affected by them, but by the interest of the general public (and our own). Over time, our world begins to "grow", as we gain the ability to organize expeditions to increasingly remote corners of the icy land.
