Frostpunk 1886: New Part from 11 bit Will Be Built on UE5 and Will Be Released in 2027
Studio 11 bit announced the development frostpunk 1886 — a new chapter in the universe of harsh survival, which will become a reimagining of the original game. The project is created on Unreal Engine 5 and will come out on PC in 2027, inviting fans of the series to return to New London, devastated by the Great Storm.
Despite the presence of Frostpunk 2, the new game will return to the classic formula of city-building survival. Frostpunk 1886 will receive updated mechanics of acceptance moral decisions, improved legal and building systems, as well as new goals, scenarios and laws that expand on the basic concept of the original.
The main technological innovation will be official support for modifications — for the first time in the history of the series. Using UE5 will open up opportunities not only for higher quality graphics, but also for future DLCs and expansions.
The game has already been in active production since early 2025 and will be part of 11 bit's new course - the studio will focus on developing its own IP and regular releases. frostpunk 2, meanwhile, will continue in parallel, including a console release and new updates.
The studio promises to reveal details about the project, including gameplay and modding features, in the coming months.
