Polish developer 11 Bit Studios has unveiled ambitious plans to expand its acclaimed Frostpunk franchise, with a new installment scheduled for 2027 and a major unannounced project targeting 2029. While the studio faced financial headwinds in 2024, its leadership remains confident about upcoming releases that capitalize on the studio's signature blend of survival strategy and narrative depth.

The immediate roadmap focuses on Frostpunk 2, with its console debut now confirmed for Summer 2025 after previous delays. Players can expect:

• A significant content update on May 8
• The Spectrum DLC arriving Fall 2025
• Two additional expansions in late 2025 and 2026

Expanding the Frostpunk Universe

Studio president Przemysław Marszał confirmed development has begun on another Frostpunk title during a recent financial briefing. While details remain scarce about whether this will be a direct sequel or spin-off, the decision reflects:

1. A strategic balance between franchise development and new IP creation
2. Capitalizing on Frostpunk 2's commercial success (recouping costs in just 4 days)
3. Adapting to evolving market conditions through diversified projects

Beyond Frostpunk: 2029's Mystery Project

The studio's long-term vision includes:

• A major 2029 release (potentially new IP)
• The Alters launching day-one on Xbox Game Pass (June 13, 2025)
• Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault targeting Summer 2025

Overcoming Challenges

The announcements follow a difficult 2024 that saw:

• Staff layoffs
• Cancellation of "Project 8"
• Financial results below expectations

Yet Marszał emphasizes confidence in 2025's turnaround, backed by this robust pipeline of strategic and creative releases.
