The Sinking City 2 announced

Developer and publisher Frogwares have anounced The Sinking City 2.

The Sinking City 2 is a survival-horror game, set in Lovecraftian 1920s United States. It takes place in the city of Arkham, now plagued by a supernatural flood that has brought decay and Eldritch monsters to its streets. Fight nightmarish abominations, explore a rotting city as the rising waters change the landscape, and discover what dark mysteries brought you to this forsaken place.

The Sinking City 2 will feature a new, stand-alone story separate from the one told in the original game released in 2019. The sequel will feature a semi-open world of decaying mansions, flooded markets and abandoned hospitals. As you progress the flood waters will rise, changing the layout of locations when you return. Players will scrounge for limited resources and balance a finite inventory, solve optional puzzles, and more.

With The Sinking City 2, Frogwares hopes to pivot the studio to a “horror-first” focus with gameplay primarily built around combat, exploration, and its Lovecraftian setting and story. The team has also finally been able to move over to Unreal Engine 5 to utilize the technological leaps and bounds the engine is offering developers.

The Sinking City 2 is planned for release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5 in 2025.
