11 bit Studios announced the second DLC for Frostpunk 2, titled “Breach of Trust,” which is scheduled for release on June 23, 2026 [1].
The expansion arrives as the developer seeks to extend the game's narrative through a trust-based scenario. This release also serves as a celebration of the Frostpunk franchise reaching 11 million copies sold [4, 5].
Set in the fictional city of New Edinburgh, the DLC introduces players to a new environment where they must manage the delicate balance of leadership and survival. The scenario focuses on the complexities of trust within a frozen wasteland, a core theme of the series.
According to the developer, the content will be available across multiple platforms. These include PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store, GOG, and Windows, as well as Xbox Game Pass, Xbox Series X/S, and PlayStation 5 [1, 2].
While some reports mention a Nintendo Switch release for the original Frostpunk title, the specific “Breach of Trust” expansion for the sequel is not listed for that platform [2, 3]. The general launch window for the content was previously identified as June 2026 [3, 4].
11 bit Studios has positioned this update as a way to reward the growing community of players who have engaged with the franchise's bleak survival mechanics. The studio said the new scenario will challenge players to maintain order in New Edinburgh while navigating the social instabilities of their colony [2].
“The DLC is scheduled for release on June 23, 2026.”

By tying the DLC to a significant sales milestone of 11 million units, the company is leveraging the franchise's commercial success to justify further narrative expansion in the survival-city-builder genre.
