11 bit Studios' frozen city sim Frostpunk finally gets a release date

Frostpunk, the new city-building survival game by This War of Mine developer 11 bit Studios, finally has a release date. Despite having been told it would be out by the end of March, it will, in fact, be released in April - 24th April 2018.

Frostpunk will cost £23/$30 downloaded or $35 (and whatever the regional equivalent is) in a shop. But if you buy it in a box, you get an art book included.
