The developers from 11 bit studios have released a next expansion for the survival strategy Frostpunk 2. Coming under title The Breach of Trust, the update introduces a new scenario set in New Edinburgh and Aurora, along with a free content update for all players.
Built near a volcano destabilized by the reckless use of geothermal energy to power its Generator, New Edinburgh faces grave danger. It’s time for you to take the helm as the First Citizen. But beware: a periodic Vote of Trust will serve as a tangible check on your approval rating. And once unrest rises and volcanic ash blankets the sky, the only safe haven is a nearby colony set on a frozen lake.
Moreover, the expansion comes along with the set of major fixes, including new interface widgets and balance change.
