Frostpunk 2 is set to bring a frigid blast of survival-based city building in July, but if you want to get chilly in spring, you'll be able to plaꦆy the game vওery soon thanks to a seven-day beta starting April 15.

The Frost🅠punk 2 beta had previously been announced for A💞pril, but now we know specifically that it🐻ꦺ'll kick off on April 15 at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST and run until April 22. Over on , developer 11 Bit Studios says this beta "features a part of the sandbox mode called the Utopia Builder Preview," but we don't have any more details on the content than that.

. (The standard version of the game is $44.99 / £37.99 / €44.99.) The Deluxe Edition also includes access to three post-launch DLC packs, 72 hours of early access to the game, and a variety of other digital goodies.

While Frostpunk 2 is also coming to PS5 and Xbox Ser๊ies X and S, this beta is only available on PC. The full game will be a part of PC Game Pass, but again, this beta only comes with the Deluxe Ed🤪ition, which you'll have to pay extra for.

The original Frostpunk was already arguably the world's most stressful - and darkest - city-building game, and it looks like the sequel is ramping things up with 澳洲幸🧜运5开奖号码历史查询:horr💙ifying-sounding additions like democracy.
