Frogwares has announced The Sinking City 2, a Lovecraftian survival horror sequel to the original game of the same name.
The Sinking City 2 is in development for Windows PC (via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PS5. A release date wasn’t announced but the game will get partial funding from a new Kickstarter.
Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
The Sinking City 2 is a survival-horror game, set in Lovecraftian 1920s United States. It takes place in the infamous city 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.
