Now, Frozen Synapse 2 has been announced to be in development.  This will be the third installment of this game series, following Frozen Cortex.  There isn’t a lot of information on the development of Frozen Synapse 2.  What we do know is that it will feature “open-world tactics.”  This may indicate an entirely different form of gameplay in comparison to its previous titles.

The game’s composer will be none other than the co-founder of Mode7 Games, Paul Kilduff-Taylor. He is known as “nervous_testpilot” on Soundcloud.  Taylor expressed through his official Twitter, “We’ve been working on this for quite a long time – it’s nice to be able to start talking about it.”

Originally, Frozen Synapse received praise for adding an innovative twist to its turn-based system. It also included multiple modes: Multiplayer, single-player, and “skirmish” mode.
We’ll have to see if its sequel can out-innovate it.

Frozen Synapse 2 is set to release sometime this year.
