History
The company was officially formed on 11 September 2010, founded by CD Projekt and Metropolis Software developers and staff members.[1][2] Currently, they employ approximately 299 people.[3] The company's goal is to create games suitable for both hardcore gamers as well as casual gamers.[1] They are well known for developing Anomaly: Warzone Earth, a real-time strategy reversed tower defense,[4] and This War of Mine, which was often praised by critics for its depiction of civilians in a city under a siege similar to the siege of Sarajevo.[5]
The studio's 2018 release, Frostpunk, sold over 250,000 copies in its first three days. Frostpunk depicts a dystopian Victorian England that has been overtaken by the frost, and the player is tasked with managing humanity's last city.[6] In 2020, it was revealed that the company was investing $21 million to fund the development of three projects and four games signed to its publishing labels. One of them, Frostpunk 2, was announced on 12 August 2021 [7] and released on 20 September 2024.[8]
