Today, 11 bit studios hosted its first-ever digital showcase, presenting a wide range of updates, new trailers, and behind-the-scenes insights across both internally developed and published titles. The show highlighted major content drops for The Alters and Frostpunk 2, two new trailers for Death Howl – launching December 9th on PC, and on February 19th on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch – an update on the road ahead for Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault in Early Access, and a deeper look at how work is progressing on Frostpunk 1886.
First up, two flagship titles from 11 bit studios’ in-house teams took to the stage. Today, The Alters, a sci-fi personal survival game, receives its first Free Major Content Update, introducing highly requested features like Relax Mode and Photo Mode, alongside a revamped saving system that allows saving on exit and during key gameplay moments. The update also adds a card-based mini-game, a new black-and-white noir-styled story mission, and more.
At the same time, the society-survival city-builder Frostpunk 2 sees the launch of its first DLC – Fractured Utopias – which reforges the Utopia Builder Mode and arrives simultaneously for the recently released console version. In addition, all Frostpunk 2 owners will receive a batch of new free content included in the latest game update. Both The Alters and Frostpunk 2 will continue to be supported with fresh content and DLCs through 2026.
Next, a duo of publishing titles – Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault and Death Howl – had their moments in the spotlight. Death Howl launches tomorrow, December 9th, on PC, and with a free demo still available on Steam, players can experience the appealing uniqueness of this deck-builder infused with soulslike elements, action-RPG exploration of eerie biomes, and tactical, grid-based combat. Console players can hop into the journey through grief on February 19th, 2026.
Meanwhile, the developers at Digital Sun shared a “work-in-progress” outlook for Moonlighter 2’s next steps in its Early Access journey and thanked players for the continuous feedback that is directly shaping development.
To mark the moment, Death Howl and Moonlighter 2 have extended their spotlight beyond the showcase, with new themed merchandise appearing in our store, alongside limited discounts on select apparel.
