This War of Mine developer 11 Bit Studios has announced their next title: Frostpunk.

While the game has elements of steampunk within it, the game’s creative director Michal Drozdowski describes it as “a deeply serious game created for a mature gamer.”

As per the game’s dire and frozen environment, Drozdowski says the team is “putting human nature under a microscope to ask about what happens when people need to stay alive.”

Set for a release sometime next year for PC, we don’t really know much else about Frostpunk, outside the above teaser trailer. Here’s a brief synopsis on what to expect, via 11 Bit Studios:

In a completely frozen world, people develop steam-powered technology to oppose the overwhelming cold. Society in its current form becomes ineffective and it has to change in order to survive.
