" Frostpunk 2 builds on the conflicts of its predecessor - survival vs human values, life vs the arctic frost. ![]() "What players should expect is a wide universe of choices, freedom to shape the society and the city however they see fit - and reap the consequences," said Frostpunk 2's co-director, Jakub Stokalski, on what players can look for in the sequel. Still, the game itself sounds quite promising for those who are able to be patient. In fact, the newly-revealed title doesn't even have a launch window at this point in time. When it comes to the release date of Frostpunk 2, 11 Bit Studios had nothing to say on the matter. Steam: #SnowBloodOil | #Frostpunk2 /a1YFTGDjYG They say we have forsaken ourselves and everything we stood for.Īnd yet here we are, survivors of the old to welcome our new savior. The trailer then cuts to the Frostpunk 2 logo alongside confirmation that the game will only be coming to PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG. Oil and blood surround the man, with the word "Liar" appearing upon his chest. The ending of the trailer slowly zooms in on an unnamed character who happens to be kneeling in the snow with his hands bound. Instead of showing off new gameplay from this entry, the video instead gives us a look at this snowy world that many players might find familiar. Figuring out which release dates are real and which ones are placeholders, however, is a mystery that cannot ever be solved - at least until a developer makes an official announcement.Frostpunk 2 was announced today alongside the release of a trailer that was comprised entirely of cinematics. Ultimately, this leak of internal Steam release dates gives us a rough idea of when developers think their games might come out. Even if there are less than 10 days remaining, Valve will allow developers to change the date by contacting them. Essentially, that means that none of the dates longer than 10 days away are guaranteed. Otherwise, a dev can change this date at any time. Nobody - The Turnaround is also a good candidate for a potential real release date as opposed to a placeholder.Ĭritically, Valve will not allow a developer to automatically change its release date once it gets within 10 days of the date set by the developer. Other games, however, have release dates that may be a little closer to reality, such as Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (July 15, 2022) and Dune: Spice Wars (April 26, 2022). (I'm no psychic, but I'm pretty sure we won't have to wait 6 years for that game to come out.) (Remember, Steam requires that developers set an internal release date before publishing a Steam Store page.) This is most evident with some of the more absurd cases such as Hollow Knight: Silksong which has an internal Steam release date of February 28, 2028. In some cases, an end-of-the-year release date (such as with My Time at Sandrock or Warhammer 40,000: Darktide) is almost certainly a placeholder. So, are these dates accurate? It's difficult to tell. In my estimation, the publication of these release dates via the Steam API may have been an accident. These dates were subsequently recorded by SteamDB, a website that tracks behind-the-scenes changes via the Steam API. Dwarf Fortress, for example, shows "time is subjective" as its release date on its Steam Store page rather than a specific date. This does not have to be made public as shown in Steam Partner documentation, allowing developers to set a custom string for the release date field that you'll see on a Steam Store page. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 Release Dateīehind the scenes, Steam requires developers to set a secret release date. ![]() Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection Release Date
