Early Access Options
For eager fans who can't wait until July 25 to dive into the frosty challenges of Frostpunk 2, the game offers early access options. Unlike the conventional practice of granting early access a few days before the official release, Frostpunk 2 is introducing a unique approach.
Frostpunk 2 Beta: April Preview
By preordering the game, players gain access to an exclusive seven-day Frostpunk 2 beta in April. This beta will allow players to experience the sandbox mode, providing a taste of the game's mechanics and atmosphere three months ahead of the official launch. It's a bold move that invites players to explore the game's potential well in advance.
Deluxe Edition Bonuses
Opting for the deluxe version of Frostpunk 2 unlocks even more perks. In addition to the April beta access, players will enjoy a three-day head start on the full game's story mode. The deluxe edition also comes bundled with three DLCs (details pending), a digital artbook, a novella that delves into the game's narrative, and the game's atmospheric soundtrack.
Frostpunk 2 takes place decades after its predecessor, introducing a world where oil takes center stage, replacing coal as the primary resource. Phil's October preview highlighted the game's intricate faction dynamics, offering players a glimpse into the complex challenges that lie ahead.
