11 bit studios has published society survival game Frostpunk 2. The story is set in the city of New London in the early 20th century, in an alternate telling of history where Earth is beset by a worldwide volcanic winter.

The "Sounds of Frostland" behind-the-scenes details audio design on Frostpunk 2. Music composer Piotr Musiał and sound designer Krzysztof Lipka discuss their strategies respecting the legacy of the franchise, and how instrument choices complement the genre.

Frostpunk 2: Original Game Soundtrack, published by Milan Records, is streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited. The Digital Deluxe Edition includes post-release downloadable contents, the digital artbook, and soundtrack album, available for Xbox Series X|S, Windows and Mac through Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store.

Jakub Stokalski, co-director and design director, comments, "We still use that post-apocalyptic, frozen setup, to tell a meaningful story about human ambition, societies striving for their ideas, and the consequences of hard decisions which are not always respected by everyone. Because ultimately, what can end us is not nature itself - it's human nature.”

From the product page:

You play as the leader of a resource-hungry metropolis where the expansion and search for new sources of power is an unavoidable reality. After the age of coal, conquering Frostland for the oil extraction industry is expected to be the new salvation of what’s left of humanity. However, change does not come easily, and not everyone in this new multi-layered society will welcome this new direction.

The City, settled around the Generator and its life-giving warmth, grew and progressed as the years ticked on. Years of whiteouts have changed the world, giving it a clean slate with which to write a new post-apocalyptic part of its story. Despite the noose of oppression again starting to tighten on a society that is struggling for life-preserving supplies—and increasingly bothered by inner squabbles after recent events—the world is once again facing an era of possibly prolific expansion.
