COPENHAGEN - July 25, 2025 - Today 5th Planet Games A/S (OAX: 5PG) announced
that Skybound Games and 11 bit studios will release PlayStation 5 and Xbox
Series X|S physical editions of Frostpunk 2 on September 18th, 2025. The
Icebreaker Edition and Whiteout Edition of Frostpunk 2 are both available for
pre-order at select global retailers starting today, with distribution across
the Nordic region coordinated by 5th Planet Games and Nordisk Interactive A/S.
Frostpunk 2 is the sequel to 11 bit studios' highly acclaimed society survival
game Frostpunk that blended city building, strategy, and management gameplay.
Frostpunk 2 initially released for PC in 2024 receiving praise from players and
media alike, including being named "Best Sim/Strategy Game" at The Game Awards
in 2024. Franchise fans have long anticipated the release of Frostpunk 2 on
consoles in 2025.
Drawing from lessons learned during the original Frostpunk's console port, in
Frostpunk 2 the development team has further refined the circular, easily
navigable interface - allowing players to guide the politics and people of New
London with the palms of their hands, on controller and thumbsticks alike.
Commenting on the upcoming release, Mark Stanger, CEO of 5th Planet Games, said
"the Frostpunk 2 physical editions are an exceptional addition to the catalogue
of Physical games being distributed by 5th Planet and Nordisk Interactive. This
is yet another high-quality and acclaimed game from a proven developer joining
the 5th Planet slate."
The Frostpunk 2: Icebreaker Edition (for PS5 or Xbox, $49.99 / £44.99 / EUR49.99)
includes the full game on disc, a meticulously 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.
The Frostpunk 2: Whiteout Edition (for PS5 or Xbox, $99.99 / £94.99 / EUR99.99)
elevates the offering further, housing all Icebreaker contents within a
multi-layered shadow box featuring integrated LED lighting and iconic key art.
It also includes a Deluxe Edition upgrade, granting access to the three upcoming
DLCs, alongside physical keepsakes: a deluxe metal-and-enamel keychain, two
premium New London art postcards, Frostpunk-themed stickers, and one of two
possible embroidered faction patches - either the disciplined Technocrats or the
fervent Icebloods.
