During today’s Xbox Partner Showcase, Frogwares officially announced The Sinking City 2.
According to the official website, The Sinking City 2 will be set in the supernaturally-flooded city of Arkham and feature a standalone story separate from that of the first game.
Gameplay will also have some significant differences. Instead of being an open world detective adventure game like its predecessor, it is described as “a full-scale survival horror game with emphasis on combat and exploration,” with investigation as an optional mechanic. It is also described as being “semi-open world,” perhaps to better suit the survival horror style.
Frogwares intends to hold a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for game features they otherwise wouldn’t have the resources for, such as an insanity mechanic. The campaign is expected to launch a few months from now.
The Sinking City 2 will be out on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC in 2025.
