I Flew Across the WORLD to Play Frostpunk 2 Again!

Earlier this year, I received a very special invitation from 11 Bit Studios: "Come to Poland and play Frostpunk 2 again!" So in the middle of May, I flew all the way to Europe. Not only did I get to play Frostpunk 2 once more - and this time, with actual STORY CONTENT!! - but I got a world-first, hands-on preview of their upcoming game "The Alters" and spent two lovely evenings mingling with fellow content creators, game developers, and journalists. This video recaps my full experience, as well as demonstrates some gameplay footage, and describes my impressions and unbridled excitement for the release of both games. Enjoy!

We're glad you enjoyed your short stay in Warsaw and both games we're cooking for players. Thanks for coming and for sharing your experiences with everyone

[@polishsnowman2409]

love you 11bit studios!! miłość z Polski 🇵🇱

[@Arthutstut641]

Yall cooking some real shit there in Poland. Cant wait for the complete experience!

[@dontbelazy3136]

The only game that decides your company's fate is FP2 xD if it's not gonna be good like FP1, it's sad news for you. All the other games 11bs shows, nobody really cares about D: a tiny playerbase will buy them anyway (those who buy all bad games, like Diablo4 etc.)

[@CatLover-gk8uu]

@@dontbelazy3136huh? You know 11 Bit Studios is primarily a publishing company right? Yeah they make some games but the majority of the company is publishing. If FP2 failed it would be a hit to the company yes but the entire company does not ride or die off the back of frostpunk.

[@glhfggwp6232]

Never heard of this game series until I got the game free on Epic Games store and try it out. I had a fun time playing frostpunk. Very unique gaming experience. Frostpunk 2 look promising, definitely looking forward to it and would consider spending money on this game to support the team.

My guess is you're referring to Ouro Kronii, aren't you? I admit there's a tiny part of my mind disappointed I'm not seeing a blue-haired time lord in some of those RL shots Pravus took.

[@Cuthawolf]

I was totally in the dark about Alters but just the concept alone has me super hooked. Thanks very much for giving us this look Pravus :)

[@inductivegrunt94]

I'm really excited for Frostpunk 2. It's everything Frostpunk 1 is carried further with new mechanics and new responsibilities to add to the experience. Hope rises for the community.

[@kokainum]

I took part in testing of Frostpunk 2. I see they took our feedback to heart and improved a lot in UI and it's much more readible now. It's been a cool game even then but I see 11bit knows their way how to address all the problems. All the problematic parts seem to be the past and I can only imagine how great the experience must be right now. I can't wait till the release!

[@yuridhjeeyn9034]

Frostpunk 2 seemed like it could become something nice (in your preview-playthrough) i still think that you should be able to satisfy multiple factions at the same time if they ask for the same thing (in your preview-game 2 factions asked that you develp the same technology, but you had to choose which one of them would get the relationship/prestige bonus)

[@drakeyes9427]

Alters most definitely - thanks to you - has now caught my interest. The concept is highly intriguing. A wonderfully fresh breeze of game design innovation. Looking forward to it. Thank you, Pravus!

[@ProjectEkerTest33]

Huh I hadn't heard of Alters but I like the concept! I will watch its career with great interest

[@christopherg2347]

The Alters: "Making a base with me, myself and I". Reminds me of some multiverse stories, with multiples of the same character.

[@CaptainKillroy]

I CALLED IT! Oh BABY(!) I'm happy this is happening. I got into FP due to your series so long ago and now being able to play the new game when it comes on (I'm on PS5) is such a joy. This is one of the few games that I intend to preorder because I have complete faith in 11 Bit Studious. PRAISE PRAVUS, The Great of Stewart of New London. EDIT: You have also single-handendly got me interested into the Altars as well.

[@Rogue0770]

Can't wait for your playthrough on Frostpunk 2.

[@spotlessmind9263]

Love 11bit games! Their stories and dilemmas that they put me through were more memorable than other games i played in college. Their dark colour theme also has a polish that I became familiar to. Alter seems like 2nd "strand" type game so i'll be looking forward to its execution

[@theawesomeking5513]

This is literally the parties in youtubers life

[@sirrichiofawesome9617]

The Alters looks amazing. I hope it lives up to its lofty goals.

[@JamesTDude]

Thanks for the sneak preview, good insight in to Frost Punk 2, can't wait for it now!

[@DanksterPaws]

Im glad with the direction they took. Making a 1.5 game resulted in Cities Skylines 2 and Kerbal Space Program 2…. Disasters

[@Teemo282]

?? :D Beta was a sandbox mode :D who expected a story.. ? we were supposed to get a taste of what the game looks like and we got that alright :D in fact.. if there was a story i would probably skip it and wait for full release if anything lol, cant wait for the game^^

[@ImPerpl3xd]

Hmmm only 2 factions per play through? That’s kinda disappointing - I figured it’d probably get too complicated if all available factions popped up throughout a playthrough, but I was hoping for at least 3 factions and their extremist offshoots. Maybe with managing multiple cities, we’ll have the opportunity to have different factions per city? That’d be neat.

[@chrisjames8979]

I'm gonna ask what we're all thinking: Can we make our Jan alters kiss?

[@russelljacob7955]

I still kinda hope they tweak the UI for FP2. It just is too futuristic and clean to me.I find while watching, it takes one out of the theme and environment. I actually compare it to Assassin's creed. While in past memories it is very much period correct, but go to menus etc, and now are reminded that are in the animus.

[@russelljacob7955]

The comment about FP2 vs FP1.5 isnt that confidence inspiring. For many of us who were initial players hyping it, we dont want FP1.5. We want the secret sauce. The sauce missing from things like 'On the edge'. FP wasnt a good city builder. It was an immersive and emotional city builder. It will be the most essential part for me. Will we have this sense of fear and emotion of a whole massive city collapsing? Fear of drama? Or will it just be babysitting whiny factions...

[@CatLover-gk8uu]

to me it feels like managing the factions is a replacement to the hope and discontent meters. something I personally find more interesting. I'm sure we'll get the drama going once we get actual scenarios instead of the endless mode previews.

[@russelljacob7955]

@@CatLover-gk8uu Hrm. That is an interesting way to think of it and could be engaging. I still cannot get On the Edge DLC out of my mind though and is basis for most of my opinions. I did not get a sense of urgency. The bigger issue is the DLC's trade system. The scenario was mainly 'click to trade' repetition with a pretty cringe story. That DLC I only did once, but I felt neither the tension/Urgency, or satisfaction of success from the conclusion. Nor was there the sense of personal agency.

[@CatLover-gk8uu]

@@russelljacob7955the issue with the on the edge DLC is it lacked that sense of peril, hardship, and moral issues. I was never given the option nor felt I was in a situation I had to sign extremist laws Ironically steel was the only recourse that was scarce as the settlements gave you so many. The issues that the settlements came to you with about your people’s behaviors hardly felt that tense as it was taking discontent hit or make that faction upset. Never had really any tangible lasting or visible consequences. It is for sure my least favorite scenario in frostpunk and I generally see that is a shared opinion. Now I think the devs learned from their mistakes with that DLC. You do feel like kinda a monster in some situation in frostpunk 2. Tearing families apart in order to keep an efficient work force and stable food income. Pressuring delegates and destroying public trust towards you, researching things you know will make people sick but are efficient, signing extreme laws such as promoting the ideas of the apex worker. Stepping even closer to a society that culls the weak and poor and only the strong will live. (The ideals of the iceblood faction) And the thing is I think you’re going to be more forced into those tough decisions. Frostpunk 1 was a hard game but it’s forcing you into hard decisions came from difficulty by design but always in your control due to the lack of any variance between play through. Pure gameplay knowledge would always prevail. I do feel once we have proper scenarios instead of just an endless mode with limitations attached to it we’ll see the game in its true horrifying light.
