Frostpunk 2 hints at mod support, featuring a T-Rex, ahead of September release

Sure, surviving the frosty tundra of a frozen Earth is rough enough, but what if you add dinosaurs to the mix? Well, that may just be an option when the post-apocalyptic sequel Frostpunk 2 launches in September. Developer 11 bit studios teased mod support for the survival city-builder via Twitter earlier today with a brief video clip.

Mod support would be pretty chill-y

Throughout the video we see a variety of, let’s just say, not normal Frostpunk entities including a T-Rex, a dragon, the massive circular roaming base from 11 bit studios’ other upcoming title, The Alters, as well as an army of adorable pink creatures from their recently released Creatures of Ava.

Frostpunk 2 already looks to be a quality sequel to the original, putting players in the role of building a prosperous settlement in the Arctic wastes, managing the various factions that reside inside instead of focusing purely on surviving. But the official mod support always has the potential to add a ton of new content as well, once players are able to learn how the modding works and start pushing what can be done with it.

The video teased that we will learn more in just a couple of days on August 28. Popular mod solution mod.io also commented on the tweet asking, “What could it be?👀”. With more recent titles adding mod.io support, it’s quite possible that’s the route that 11 bit studios have taken with integrating mod support into Frostpunk 2. But as the video says, we will find out more on August 28.

I already have a ton of ideas of what types of mods I’d love to see in Frostpunk 2, but dinosaurs and dragons aren’t a bad start. Frostpunk 2 is set to release on September 20, 2024, on PC via Steam, Epic Game Store, and GOG as well as on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. It will also be a Day One on Game Pass release.
