History

The company was officially formed on 11 September 2010, founded by CD Projekt and Metropolis Software developers and staff members.[2][3] Currently, they employ approximately two hundred people. The company's goal is to create games suitable for both hardcore gamers as well as casual gamers.[2] 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 most recent release, Frostpunk, sold over 250,000 copies in its first three days. Frostpunk depicts a dystopian/late 18th century 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 August 12, 2021.[7]
