Frogwares Releases 12‑Minute Trailer as The Sinking City 2 Moves Toward August Launch
The footage highlights the Arkham Fish Market, confirms a launch New Game+ that carries over perk points and items, and notes a planned free HDR update after release.
Overview
- Frogwares published a roughly 12‑minute gameplay trailer titled “Meat for the Grindmaws” that showcases new locations in the Arkham Fish Market and expanded combat against larger, deadlier enemies.
- The studio confirmed a fully featured New Game+ at launch that lets players carry over all perk points, perks and items to restart the game with those advantages.
- Frogwares said an HDR patch will be offered as free post‑launch support and indicated most groundwork for the update is already complete so it should arrive shortly after release.
- The Sinking City 2 is scheduled to launch on August 18 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG, with digital pre‑orders open in tiered editions that include early‑access and content bonuses.
- Development moved late to Unreal Engine 5.8 and the team worked remotely across Ukraine and beyond, and published system requirements recommend modern GPUs and about 70 GB of SSD space which may limit performance on older hardware.
