Frostpunk can be redeemed for free at the Epic Games Store until June
10, 12:00 (GMT)
Frostpunk can be redeemed and downloaded for free from the Epic Games
Store by all users for a limited time. After giving away Among Us for free, the
store is offering the post-apocalyptic city-building and survival game
developed by 11 Bit Studios. It is possible to pick up the game until June 10.
Like other games offered for free by Epic Games, Frostpunk will remain
in the user’s account forever after being redeemed, as if it had been
purchased. To play, simply download the game via the Epic Games Store app.
Originally released in 2018, Frostpunk is a game that mixes city
building mechanics with a survival simulator. The mission is to create the last
habitable city in a frozen post-apocalyptic world and ensure the community
survives at all costs.
The game still focuses a lot on the narrative. During the campaign, the
weather will become increasingly unbearable, and the player will have to make
moral and ethical decisions to protect all the inhabitants, such as putting
children to work or killing very sick people.
In addition to fighting the deadly cold, you will have to deal with
people’s moods. City inhabitants will be directly affected by the player’s
choices. For example, putting sawdust in food to increase yields will diminish
community hope and cause disease.
Frostpunk Mobile Phone will be released in 2021
In addition to the PC version at the Epic Games Store, Frostpunk is
also available on Steam, PS4 and Xbox One. Also in 2021, developer 11 Bit
Studios plans to release an Android Mobile phone and iPhone (iOS) edition of
the game in partnership with NetEase Games.
According to the producer, Frostpunk Mobile will have mechanics similar
to the PC version, but with some more features, such as an adventure mode with
roguelike elements, laws, guild systems and stations to guard rare animals.
Still no exact release date, Frostpunk Mobile will be available in
alpha testing sometime until the end of 2021.
