The Sinking City 2 Moves Its Release Date To 2026

The release window for The Sinking City 2 has been shifted into 2026, as a genre change and the ongoing war in Ukraine have played a part



Article Summary

  • The Sinking City 2 delayed to 2026 due to the Ukraine war and a major shift to survival horror gameplay.
  • Set in Lovecraftian 1920s Arkham, players face Eldritch monsters and supernatural floods.
  • Explore decaying mansions, flooded markets, and uncover dark secrets in an atmospheric world.
  • Use 1920s weapons, manage limited resources, and solve optional cases for deeper lore and choices.

Indie game developer and publisher Frogwares has announced that they are pushing the release of The Sinking City 2 back into 2026. No release date was confirmed for the Lovecraftian survival horror game, so sliding it back is no major deal in our eyes as we're all for devs taking all the time they need to make a game the way they want. However, as posted on social media this morning, the studio cited the ongoing war in Ukraine (where they are based) and the "significant genre shift" they decided to put on the title as the primary reasons why the shift was made.

The Sinking City 2

The Sinking City 2 is a survival-horror game set in a Lovecraftian 1920s United States. In the infamous city of Arkham, a supernatural flood has driven out all but the most deranged residents and brought decay and Eldritch monsters to the streets. Experience a heart-pounding survival horror as you explore the flooded city of Arkham and fight eldritch monsters beyond human comprehension. Immerse yourself in a distinct atmosphere of cosmic horror and twisted designs drawn from the dark wellsprings of HP Lovecraft's macabre imagination.

  • Fight to Survive: Use an arsenal of 1920s-inspired firearms and melee weapons to fight against Eldritch-inspired admonitions.
  • Explore The Decaying City of Arkham: A world of decaying mansions, flooded markets, and abandoned hospitals that you'll explore by foot and by boat.
  • Find and Use What You Can: Scrounge for limited resources and balance a finite inventory as you decide what to bring and what to leave behind.
  • Choose to Investigate Further: Solve optional cases and puzzles that let you investigate your surroundings deeper to uncover secrets, alternate options, and more lore.
  • A Twisted Lovecraftian Tale: Experience a morally grey and captivating story focused on personal loss and woven around the Lovecraftian mythos of cults, rituals, and incomprehensible creatures.
