New "It's just unreal" - Frostpunk series passes impressive sales milestone, as a Switch version is announced and major Frostpunk 2 DLC is disclosed

Frozen city building survival series Frostpunk has passed an impressive milestone, creator 11 Bit Studios has announced - 11 million sales (how appropriate).

That's across 2018's Frostpunk and its 2024 sequel Frostpunk 2.

"Seeing 11m brave the frost: it's just unreal," said Frostpunk 2 game director Łukasz Juszczyk in a franchise update video.

"Back when I was an artist on the first Frostpunk, none of us expected the avalanche it would trigger." The Frostpunk footage covered all aspects of the series, most notably including a first look at the upcoming Frostpunk 2 DLC Breach of Trust.

.

This is due 23rd June and revolves around a volcanic eruption nearby your city, therefore turning a resource that's usually sought in the game - heat - into a suddenly very destructive one.

A debut video showed rivers of lava gurgling around the player's city.

"What you just saw changes everything," Juszczyk added.

"In Breach of Trust, the heat is no longer your salvation: it might just be your downfall." He went on to say that Breach of Trust will bring an "evocative" story to the game as part of a "massive" scenario and include "fresh" gameplay mechanics.

.

You can either wait until June to play it or sign up for playtests now.

And this is not all for Frostpunk 2.

Beyond Breach of Trust, Frostpunk 2 is apparently building to something "big", which is presumably the "Surge DLC" listed on the game's roadmap.

Except there are no roads.

Don't think too much about it.

Notably, it includes a new Purpose upgrade path, which focuses on the strength of a community.

.

Frostpunk 1886 also has a new close-up perspective, wider city views and new explorable areas.

"We want Frostpunk 1886 to be the definitive experience of the game that started it all," said game director Maciej Sułecki ## Editor's Note The gaming community will surely have mixed reactions to this news. Source: [Eurogamer](https://www.eurogamer.net/frostpunk-sales-milestone-and-dlc)
