Frozen Synapse is a very particular combination of turn-based strategic commands and simultaneous execution means that there is little else like it, and new of an upcoming sequel has certainly been interesting - even if that sequel has been long in development, and won’t be making its planned release date this year.

Can I interest you in some of the best strategy games on PC?

But that doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t be playing Frozen Synapse 2 at all this year, just that it might not be in quite so fully-featured a state. A recent newsletter from Mode 7 suggests that there’s likely to be a beta before the end of the year. There’s a strong “plans are always subject to change” qualifier, but that’s the current goal.
