Exciting news for Frostpunk fans! 11 bit studios has unveiled two major updates for their highly anticipated title, Frostpunk 2. One of the most exciting announcements is that mod support will be available at launch, introduced through a tool called FrostKit. This tool will empower players to create custom maps, fill them with their own models, and design new scenarios for their cities—whether it’s an ancient civilization or something cosmic. The modding options are vast, allowing players to step beyond the game’s iconic frozen-apocalypse setting and truly make the game their own.
Shape Your Own Frostpunk World with FrostKit
Warsaw, Poland – August 28, 2024 – Hot on the heels of the dino-filled teaser video released earlier this week, 11 bit studios and the development team behind Frostpunk 2 have revealed that the game will include mod support from the start, thanks to their FrostKit tool. While FrostKit will launch in a beta state, it is set to evolve over time based on community feedback, allowing players to shape their own cities in any way they desire. According to Frostpunk 2‘s Technical Director, Szymon Jablonski, the switch to Unreal Engine has made this level of customization possible, breaking free from the limitations of the original Frostpunk engine.
The trailer for Frostpunk 2’s modding tool, created in collaboration with mod.io, offers a sneak peek at the many creative possibilities. Players will be able to design entirely custom maps, place their unique models, and build cities that are distinct from the cold, survivalist atmosphere of the core game. These cities can even feature unique scenarios, setting the stage for endless creativity in this harsh, strategic world.

Community-Driven Evolution
While the beta version of FrostKit will offer most of the core features, 11 bit studios has made it clear that ongoing feedback from the community will be integral to its development. The closed beta will launch first with selected modding community members, allowing them to test the tool’s functionality and provide valuable input that will help shape its future.
Frostpunk 2 is set to launch on PC on September 20th, and will also be available via PC Game Pass on day one. Players eager for even earlier access can grab the Digital Deluxe edition, which includes three unannounced DLCs, exclusive in-game items, and access to the game 72 hours earlier—starting on September 17th.
