Just recently, 11 Bit Studios confirmed the development of Frostpunk 1886, set to launch in 2027. This new installment aims to offer not just a visual upgrade but a complete overhaul of the original game utilizing Unreal Engine 5.

Frostpunk 1886 is described as a reimagining of the 2018 classic, pledging to deliver new content, mechanics, and laws along with enhanced survival dynamics. Additionally, it will introduce an entirely new Purpose path aimed at providing a fresh experience even for long-time players.

The game also plans to support modding, a feature previously constrained by technical limitations of the older engine. With this shift to Unreal Engine 5, the developers are optimistic about creating a living, expandable platform, simplifying future content updates and the integration of mods.

In the coming months, 11 Bit Studios will release more information on Frostpunk 1886, which references the Great Frost timeline from the series. Players can expect to glean more insights as the game’s debut approaches.

For further details and updates, fans are encouraged to stay tuned to the official communications from 11 Bit Studios.
