If you enjoy a city builder with a challenge, this deal is for you. Fanatical has discounted Frostpunk 2, the sequel to the highly acclaimed strategy survival game, to its lowest price yet. Right now, you can pick up the Standard and Deluxe Editions of this brilliantly brutal city builder at a huge discount – less than a year after its release! But you’d better act fast if you want this discount, as it’s only available for a few days.
Frostpunk 2 is easily one of the best city-building games on PC. The long-awaited sequel to 11 Bit Studios’ 2018 hit survival game Frostpunk, Frostpunk 2 tasks you with developing and expanding the city of New London following an apocalyptic blizzard that has killed most of Earth’s population and left survivors in a never-ending winter. It’s up to you, as the Steward, to evolve your settlement, and (most importantly) ensure your civilization survives and, hopefully, thrives in this hostile world.
You don’t need to have played Frostpunk to get to grips with its sequel. While Frostpunk 2 sees the return (and streamlining) of many of the first game’s systems, like the need to keep your city’s massive heat generator sufficiently fueled and to generally keep your citizens warm, fed, and sheltered, some new ones make this already tough game even more challenging.
You now have a council to appease (or ignore), which consists of faction delegates who each have their own view on how to run the city. So, rather than simply passing laws as you please, each law must be proposed and voted on by the council before it can be enacted. Keeping all the factions happy is nearly impossible, so it’s up to you to balance their varying wishes, your morals, and what you think is best for your people.
The addition of the council gives this strategy game more political focus than its predecessor and makes the already difficult choices you’re regularly presented with even tougher. In PCGamesN’s Frostpunk 2 review, Reid McCarter said Frostpunk 2 is “a game that stands out in the strategy genre for the narrative consideration that gives every one of its choices so much texture.”
If you’re up to the challenge, you’re in luck, as Frostpunk 2 is now at its lowest price yet. Fanatical has slashed 45% off the Standard Edition of Frostpunk 2, dropping the price from $44.99 / £37.99 to just $24.74 / £20.89.
If you want the definitive Frostpunk 2 experience, you can also pick up the Deluxe Edition for a 40% discount, dropping the price from $74.99 / £62.99 to $44.99 / £37.79. This deal offers the best value, as it drops the price of the Deluxe Edition to the usual price of the Standard Edition. For that price tag, you get a heap of extra content, including three DLCs, the Captain’s Hall exclusive in-game item, the Warm Flesh novella, and a digital artbook and soundtrack.
You only have until Wednesday, May 14, 2025 to grab this cool discount, so take advantage of this deal while you can. After this, there’s no telling how long it will be until the price comes down again.
