Fractured Utopias is the first downloadable content expansion for Frostpunk 2, the city-building survival strategy game developed by 11 bit studios, released in 2025 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Mac. The expansion focuses on the game's Utopia Builder mode, introducing dedicated Utopia Trees tied to each in-game faction. As players build trust with individual factions, affinities accumulate and unlock faction-specific laws, buildings, and abilities that advance each group's distinct ideological agenda. Progressing fully through a faction's Utopia Tree culminates in the establishment of a singular societal vision for the city, permanently eliminating Tension as a pressure within that playthrough. However, committing to one faction's utopian path comes with meaningful trade-offs, framing the expansion's central tension around ideological conviction versus broader compromise.
