Frostpunk 2 to Feature Mod Assistance upon Debut
The anticipated launch of Frostpunk 2 is drawing near, with the officially scheduled debut set for September 20, 2024. In a recent video announcement, it was revealed that Frostpunk 2 will come equipped with official mod assistance called FrostKit. This tool will be in its beta stage upon the game’s release, with ongoing efforts to enhance and streamline it for player utilization.
Enthusiasts longing to express their creativity will find solace in the mod support offered by Frostpunk 2, enabling the crafting of new maps and scenarios – a feature fans have yearned for since the inception of Frostpunk. The developers conveyed in their statement that “the earlier game and proprietary engine posed limitations that hindered us from realizing this dream,” but they have transitioned to Unreal Engine for the sequel.
To commemorate the revelation of Frostpunk 2 embracing mod assistance from the outset, an official trailer for the mod support was unveiled to offer players a glimpse of what lies ahead with FrostKit.
Through the utilization of FrostKit, players can design their own maps, populate them with custom models, and create personalized scenarios, beckoning players to explore themes ranging from ancient to post-apocalyptic settings.
While FrostKit will be initially launched in beta, some features may not be accessible right away. Nonetheless, players will have access to the majority of tools needed to tailor their game experience. Over time, FrostKit will evolve and refine based on feedback from users who engage with the tool.
Prior to the release of Frostpunk 2, FrostKit will undergo an open beta phase involving selected members of the dedicated modding community to ensure smooth functioning and gather valuable insights for potential adjustments before the game hits the market.
Concluding their announcement, the developers emphasized, “This marks our maiden venture into introducing a modding tool, and while perfection may elude us initially, our commitment remains unwavering in refining it to its utmost potential!”
Frostpunk 2 is primed for launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Players eager for early access can indulge by acquiring the Digital Deluxe Edition of Frostpunk 2, granting three days of exclusive Early Access to delve into Frostpunk 2 before the general populace.
