Frostpunk 2 DLC ‘Breach of Trust’ Launches June 23 With Volcanic Survival Scenario

The expansion reframes survival around volcanic risk with citizen approval votes.

Overview

  • 11 bit studios unveiled Breach of Trust as Frostpunk 2’s second post-launch add-on, moving the action to New Edinburgh where overused geothermal power has destabilized a nearby volcano.
  • Players step in as the First Citizen and face a recurring Vote of Trust that gauges public approval, with five distinct communities and factions shaping political pressure and outcomes.
  • Volcanic threats replace the deep freeze through new hazards like ground-shaking tremors and a lethal Volcano Night, with a nearby settlement on a frozen lake serving as a potential refuge.
  • The DLC adds a narrative scenario tied to New Edinburgh and its former colony, Aurora, plus two scenario maps, five new buildings and hubs, fresh events, and new laws that alter city planning.
  • Closed playtests are available to PC players who sign up on Steam, the DLC is set to release across platforms that carry the base game, and an updated roadmap teases a later electricity-themed DLC codenamed Surge.
