Fractured Utopias is available now on Steam!
DLC is expanding the 8 existing factions in Utopia Builder Mode to make them feel even more integral to this mode. We’ve completely redesigned the main menu, adding one of the most requested features - the ability to force your starting faction.
After a year of improvements shaped by your feedback, this expansion takes the Utopia Builder even further with unique faction identities, new laws, over 100 fresh events, and buildings.
That’s not all! From the moment of DLC’s launch, all of the base game owners gain a Free Content Update with an additional map and additional Centrist Policies for existing laws.
Check out the Launch Trailer for the DLC, revealed during our 11 bit studios Digital Showcase:

Create one of the Unique Faction Utopias
[p align="justify"]In Fractured Utopias, every faction now delivers its own distinct style of play.
[/p][p align="justify"]The DLC features an overhauled starting menu where you pick from 8 already known factions, each shaping the future direction of your city. Your selection defines the kind of Utopia you’ll aim to create. Will you chase cutting-edge innovation with the Technocrats, or forge a disciplined, militaristic society under the Legionnaires? The path forward is entirely up to you.

Once you choose a faction, you immediately gain access to its exclusive skill tree, filled with unique buildings, hubs, and abilities to unlock. Advancing through the tree depends on completing actions that earn favour with the group you’ve aligned with.
[/p][p align="justify"]Every faction also grants its own set of traits, offering passive boosts that enhance your city’s stability and productivity. As you progress, your settlement will slowly evolve to mirror the style and philosophy of your faction, making each playthrough feel genuinely tailored to the choice you made.

8 New Hubs and Housing District Variants
[p align="justify"]Depending on which path you choose to forge your Utopia, the look of your City will adapt to it. Build new Hubs and Housing Districts, now dedicated to each of the 8 existing factions. Use them to unlock new benefits that help you survive the Frost.

City Unbound and the Unique Tales Feature
[p align="justify"]This City Unbound is a special one for us because it marks the reveal of our very first Frostpunk 2 DLC!
Tales in Frostpunk 2 were always meant to be played alone or mixed for an extra challenge. This is a feature never seen before in any existing strategy game. They are narratively framed gameplay twists - stories that explore how ideology holds up under extreme pressure.[/p][p align="justify"]They were designed to add a unique angle to your playthrough.

Plus, you can play them in any configuration you want. Even all at once!
