- Sign-ups for Frostpunk L.A.R.P. 2027 are open! - 22 September 2026
Hello Citizens, Our friends from Larp Venture opened sign-ups for another edition of Frostpunk L.A.R.P!: Will the community survive?Frostpunk: The Last Recon will take over a historic fort in Poland. Join for a live experience created in our partnership with LarpVenture. This is live-action role-play: you step into your character’s shoes and make decisions as if you were truly there. No script or audience. Just you, the other players, and the consequences of your choices. You’ll chop wood, go for a recon and decide who gets to eat. This is where Frostpunk leaves the screen and becomes something you experience with your body and mind. The Last Recon takes you to one of Frostpunk’s remote outposts. Food is scarce, the cold is merciless, and tensions rise as survival becomes increasingly uncertain. You’ll negotiate, lead, build, and sacrifice - because not everyone can be saved. The City d…
- Breach of Trust - Tips & Tricks FAQ - 10 July 2026
Hello Citizens, To address struggles you have met in our latest expansion, we decided to gather all of your questions across community and give you couple of tips & tricks which should make your playthroughs easier! :) Check them out below: 1. Why am I running out of workforce at the start of the game?Steam Extraction Districts consume a large amount of workforce while producing a resource that is plentiful early on. Consider deconstructing some of them instead of keeping them all active. This frees workers, delays tremors, and provides a significant amount of Prefabs and Heatstamps to help your early economy.2. Should I keep or remove all Steam Extraction Districts?There isn't a single correct choice. You can fully transition to coal by removing all Steam Extraction Districts, or keep some of them operating. On lower difficulties, a good starting strategy is to keep the southernmost St…

- The first Frostpunk 2 DLC makes factions matter way more, and you can sign up to try it early if you're fast - 1 November 2025
With winter about to seize half of the world in a frigid grasp once more, could there be a better time to hunker down at home with the Frostpunk 2 Fractured Utopias DLC - the first paid content patch since one of the best city-building games released last year? This new expansion adds a bunch of extra skill trees, over 100 narrative events, and lots more to, you guessed it, Utopia mode. That means you can struggle to survive the never-ending winter of the survival game as the hopefully non-hazardous version of the same season outside your house simply suggests you wear a coat outside as opposed to, say, six layers and ski goggles.
