Build Utopia or Face Collapse in the Frostpunk 2 Beta
Fans of the critically acclaimed survival strategy game Frostpunk have a new reason to gear up as 11 bit studios releases Beta access for Frostpunk 2. Starting today, players who pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe Edition can experience the “Utopia Builder Preview”—a special sandbox mode available for one week only.
Sandbox Beta Details
The Beta is available from April 15, 7 PM CEST to April 22, 7 PM CEST and offers around 40% of the full game’s scope. Unlike its predecessor, which focused heavily on city survival mechanics, Frostpunk 2 expands its vision to explore ideological division, societal shifts, and long-term governance.
