11 bit studios is thrilled to announce that Piotr Musiał, one of Poland’s most well-known game music composers, will be composing the soundtrack for the upcoming Frostpunk sequel. Musiał, who previously worked with the studio on This War of Mine and the original Frostpunk, is a natural fit for the new project. His portfolio also includes scores for other notable Polish titles like The Witcher 3.
Additionally, Musiał will be composing the music for another 11 bit studios game, The Alters. Unlike the grim post-apocalyptic setting of Frostpunk, The Alters features a sci-fi story with a completely different musical tone.
Fans can experience Musiał’s new compositions and play almost two hours of The Alters in an exciting demo as part of Steam Next Fest.
Diving even deeper into the post-apocalyptic abyss, Frostpunk 2 builds upon the foundations that made its predecessor a triumph. It thrusts players into a world of unyielding realities and complex social dilemmas within an ever-expanding city. With a broader scope and expansion in every aspect of the gameplay mechanics, Frostpunk 2 escalates the tension as you steer the City and its inhabitants into an uncertain future.
Much of that tension comes from introducing different factions within the City walls vying for allegiance among its citizens. Will you bend your decisions to the survivalist nature of the Icebloods, advocates of adaptation over development? Or will you side with the methodical Technocrats, champions of technological progress? Perhaps, you might even side with one of the more radicalized groups you’ll meet in-game. It’s up to you – the City’s Steward.
Both the Frostpunk 2 base game (44.99 USD / 44.99 EUR / 37.99 GBP) and the Digital Deluxe edition (74.99 USD / 74.99 EUR / 62.99 GBP) are available for pre-order today on Steam and the Microsoft Store. Additionally, the Digital Deluxe edition on Steam will be discounted by 10 percent.
The Digital Deluxe edition of the game includes:

Three paid post-release DLCs
Exclusive access to the story mode 72 hours before the official release
“Warm Flesh” digital novella, an enticing excerpt from the upcoming Frostpunk book anthology
Digital artbook & soundtrack
Mark your calendars for Frostpunk 2 as it arrives on Windows PC and on PC Game Pass on the 25th of July. Launching on consoles at a later date, the game will also be coming to Xbox Game Pass.
