Hope rises, New Londoners. Distributor Skybound Games has announced that the Frostpunk 2 physical edition for PlayStation 5 is available at local retailers now. The latest instalment in 11 bit studios’ city-builder and society survival franchise has been reimagined for consoles, complete with a tailored UI and all-new radial menus.

The Icebreaker Edition is available now and includes the following collectible tributes worthy of New London’s archives:

• The Frostpunk 2: Icebreaker Edition (for PS5: $99.95 AUD) includes the full game on disc, a stunningly crafted pop-up diorama of New London, the chilling digital novella Warm Flesh, and a behind-the-scenes digital artbook chronicling the creation of this unforgiving world.

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. As Stewards, players will face hardships, tough decisions, and ideological conflicts. When the sirens pierce the cold air with their chilling wail, it signals one thing: you’ve failed your people.

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. The console version allows players to guide the politics and people of New London with the palms of their hands, on controllers and thumbsticks alike.
