11 bit studios’ chilly survival game (not to mention critically acclaimed and winner of multiple awards) Frostpunk is making the jump to Xbox One and Playstation 4 later this year.
Frostpunk is a gritty simulation of society survival in a frozen post-apocalypse. Offering a complex strategic challenge alongside a rich narrative and features an alternate take on the 19th-century industrial revolution. As the leader of the last civilized society on Earth, you’re tasked with keeping the survivors alive by building shelter, discovering technologies and exploring the frozen wastelands while managing the people.
The team at 11 bit studios are focusing on a smooth transition to consoles with efforts on re-designing the game and adjusting its mechanics to PS4 and Xbox one in terms of Controls. According to the press release, the team is close to completing the console edition and making the game feel natural with the controller. “We don’t want to reveal the exact release date yet, but I can say that the game should be out in the summer,” says lead designer Kuba Stokalski.
Frostpunk: Console Edition will contain all the previous free updates from the PC version including The Fall of Witherhome scenario, additional customization options, difficulty settings and balance tweaks, with further additional content updates planned for the future.
