11 bit studios shared new details and gameplay for Frostpunk 1886, their new reimagining of the original Frostpunk game, rebuilt in Unreal Engine 5.

Here’s a rundown on the new details, plus the trailer:

Among its secrets, the studio also shared a substantial update from the production of Frostpunk 1886 – a reimagining of the bestselling first game in the series, rebuilt from the ground up using the power of Unreal Engine and expanded with new mechanics and content. Maciej Sułecki, Game Director of the project, highlighted several current areas of focus, including: enhancing citizen behavior through improved animations and motion capture; adding more expressive slices of daily life in New London to deepen emotional resonance; a redesigned lighting system emphasizing the harshness of the Frostland; and upgraded building textures for a more grounded, immersive city.

Frostpunk 1886 is in development for Windows PC (via Steam) with a release set not for awhile, sometime in 2027.
