14 DAY TRIAL // 11 bit studios has just announced that the critically-acclaimed Frospunk survival strategy game is getting another DLC next month. Dubbed The Last Autumn, the expansion will drop on PC via Steam, GOG, and Humble Store on January 21, 2020. Along with the release of its biggest expansion, Frostpunk will be on sale with a 60% discount on Steam.
Those who've played through the entire Frostpunk story will be happy to know that The Last Autumn is a prequel to the base game and will definitely change the perception of the frostbitten landscape fans are so familiar with.
According to developers, The Last Autumn focuses on an important turning point in the Frostpunk universe, as it sheds light on events of the story that happen before the winter strikes. In other words, gone are the white, harsh wintry landscapes, as the world in The Last Autumn is full of life and energy.
The expansion lets players experience the civilization’s last attempts to remain unbeaten by nature and build a generator in an effort to save the people. Don't think that The Last Autumn isn't at least just as challenging as the base game, as you'll battle against winter as it slowly takes over the British Empire and threatens its collapse.
Gameplay-wise, The Last Autumn offers new buildings, technologies, and Books of Laws that will assist players in navigating through unprecedented social issues and shape the Frostpunk society in previously unknown ways.
“We’re really excited to show our latest work to the community. The Last Autumn will debut a month later than originally planned, but we firmly believe that it will be worth the wait since it’s one of the most amazing things we did with Frostpunk so far. And the story doesn’t end here. The third DLC is coming so 2020 will be a big year for Frostpunk,” says Kuba Stokalski, Frostpunk Lead Designer.
Keep in mind that The Last Autumn is included in the Frostpunk Season Pass which grants access to all three DLC packs: The Rifts, The Last Autumn, and the unannounced pack codenamed “Project TVADGYCGJR”. If you don’t have the Season Pass, each DLC pack can be bought separately. 11 bit studios also confirmed that all expansions will arrive on consoles at a later date.
