Now live until April 22, those that pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition of 11 bit studios’ Frostpunk 2 can dive into a week-long Beta that features the Utopia Builder Preview.

Note that this ideological conflict is present in the aforementioned Utopia Builder Preview mode, tasking players with reconciling conflicting interests and navigating societal complexities.
For those looking of a taste of things to come, Frostpunk 2’s co-directors recently sat down to provide a number of different insights into the title’s different changes
