Overview
- Frogwares announced the full release date and shadow‑dropped a playable demo during the Future Games Show on Saturday, June 6, with the game set to launch on August 18, 2026.
- The Sinking City 2 will release on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic), PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S and the studio describes the build as a standalone sequel that introduces protagonist Calvin Rafferty.
- Frogwares says the sequel shifts the franchise toward survival horror, emphasizing scarce resources, tight inventory management, tense 1920s‑era gun and melee combat, and optional detective investigation systems.
- The demo available now on Steam offers roughly the opening hour on PC only and provides an early hands‑on look at the game’s focused level design and horror tone.
- Most of the roughly 90‑person team worked from Ukraine and the studio says power cuts, air raids and personnel call‑ups related to the war repeatedly delayed and complicated development, a factor that shaped the project’s timeline and team wellbeing.
