Brace for the Cold – A Frostpunk Tabletop RPG is Coming!

Survival just got even more immersive! The brutal, frozen world of Frostpunk is heading to the tabletop, thanks to Catalyst Game Labs. The upcoming Frostpunk Tabletop RPG will plunge players into the heart of a desperate city, where keeping the generator running is the only thing standing between life and an icy grave.

Build, Lead, Survive

Much like the original video game, this RPG won’t just be about surviving the cold—it’s about leading a struggling community through impossible choices. Players will take on roles within the city, managing resources, making tough moral decisions, and deciding just how far they’re willing to go to keep humanity alive. Will you enforce strict laws? Ration food mercilessly? Or will you take a more hopeful approach, even if it puts survival at risk?

A New System for a Harsh World

The game will use Catalyst’s Dice Core system, a medium-weight RPG system that blends simplicity with meaningful decisions. Players roll three dice—one for action difficulty, one for skill, and one for an attribute—meaning every choice carries weight, just like in Frostpunk.

More Than Just a Game - An Entire World to Explore

Alongside the RPG, Catalyst is releasing a two-volume art and setting book, diving deeper into the Frostpunk universe. Expect stunning artwork, expanded lore, and plenty of inspiration for your frozen campaigns.

Our Take: A Perfect Fit for the Tabletop

If any video game was meant for an RPG adaptation, Frostpunk is it. The blend of survival mechanics, society-building, and gut-wrenching choices screams tabletop storytelling. With the game set to release next April, we can’t wait to see if this RPG can capture the brutal beauty of Frostpunk—and whether our cities (and friendships) will survive the cold.
