Overview
- Frogwares announced on Saturday, June 6 that The Sinking City 2 will release on August 18 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC through Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG.
- A one-hour playable demo that covers the game’s opening hour is available now on Steam for PC, offering the first broad hands-on look at protagonist Calvin Rafferty and early mechanics.
- The developer describes the sequel as a tighter survival‑horror experience with 1920s firearms and melee, exploration by foot and boat, finite inventory and resource scavenging, plus optional investigative cases and puzzles.
- Frogwares publicly detailed how the Russian invasion of Ukraine repeatedly disrupted production—reporting power outages, staff called to serve, air‑raid interruptions and damage to homes—but said the team has completed the game and is preparing for launch.
- The Sinking City 2 continues the franchise’s Lovecraftian setting from the 2019 original and a wide release across major PC stores and current‑generation consoles could shape early public reaction from the Steam demo and prelaunch coverage.
