Polish studio 11bit has announced that its unusual permafrost survival strategy game Fronstpunk will be ported to Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
“The daring simulation of society surviving in a freezing world after the end of the world was nominated for a BAFTA award, became a bestseller of 2018 and received a number of prestigious awards,” the studio said in a statement. “Frostpunk: Console Edition, a neat and high-quality adaptation of the PC hit for Xbox One and PlayStation 4, will go on sale this year.” The console version will include all free updates that have already been released, including The Fall of Winterhome scenario, additional settings, difficulty levels and balance changes. In addition, in the future, the developers plan to release a few more updates.
According to the authors, a lot of effort had to be spent on making the necessary changes in the design and improvement of game mechanics for consoles, especially in terms of controls. It is announced that the main goal has already been achieved - an intuitive interface has been created, the interaction with which is carried out using the controller. “We do not want to give a specific date yet, but I can say that we are planning a premiere for the summer,” added lead designer Kuba Stokalski. Recall that the game was released on the PC on April 24 last year, on Steam it can be bought for only 599 rubles.
Frostpunk tells the story in an alternate universe set during the Industrial Revolution in the XNUMXth century. For unknown reasons, a new ice age has begun on the planet. We have to lead the last city on Earth. We will develop the settlement, using the few resources available in the world of eternal cold for heating and as fuel for steam engines. We can send expeditions of survivors into the wilds for useful materials, information about the world around us and the causes of the apocalypse. In the process, the player is forced to make difficult decisions for the survival of the city.
“You can become an enlightened ruler or a stern tyrant, but one way or another you will quickly realize that making a choice is not as easy as it might seem,” the authors explain. “With the power to govern comes responsibility for those you are called to care for.”
