According to Jakub Stokalski, Frostpunk 2 Co-Director:

[testimonials user=” email=” name=” position=” photo=”]“We have more manpower available to focus on all aspects of the game from the scale, the production value, to the quality of UX. Our ambition is to do more than a straight-up sequel. What we aim to deliver to players is an experience that goes vastly beyond that of the original Frostpunk.”[/testimonials]

Jakub added:

[testimonials user=” email=” name=” position=” photo=”]“What players should expect is a wide universe of choices, freedom to shape the society and the city however they see fit – and reap the consequences. Frostpunk 2 builds on the conflicts of its predecessor – survival vs human values, life vs the arctic frost. But most importantly, it adds a new layer that is present in many aspects of the game – be it politics, be it society, be it technological progress – the conflict between humans and their nature.”[/testimonials]

For those new to the series, you can try the original Frostpunk on Steam for free from today through August 16.
