The Sinking City 2 has gone full-on horror, coming out in 2025
07.03.2024 - 10:41 / thesixthaxis.com
Frogwares has revealed The Sinking City 2, a sequel to the Lovecraftian detective game that’s leaning much, much further in to the horror genre. The game is coming out in 2025 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
The Sinking City 2 takes us to 1920s Arkham – no, not the Batman one, but the Lovecraft one – and while there’s a familiar cosmic horror tone, Frogwares are exploring much more of the horror side of things. it will and will feature “iconic Lovecraftian monsters like the Deep Ones more front and center,” but Frogwares are aiming to put their own spin on the Lovecraftian setting.
“The rot and decay from the waters have become constant,” Frogwares Head of Publishing, Sergey Oganesyan told Xbox Wire. “In the darker corners of the gloom are creatures not of this world. And the population’s minds have twisted and contorted to the point where they are somehow used to it all. This is the world our character steps into on a mission that won’t be made clear to you right away.”
There will also be a new protagonist for this game, though they’re keeping tight lipped about who that will be. Oganesyan said, “We wanted to create a story and setting that wasn’t burdened by what we created in The Sinking City, especially since players have various endings they favored or considered the ‘true ending’. This way we can let existing fans come back into this world fresh, while anyone who never played the original game can also step in without feeling like they are missing a big chunk of the story.”
The original Sinking City was a decent take on the familiar tentacle-filled setting – while our The Sinking City review dished out a 6/10, Steve said, “this is probably the best Lovecrat adaptation since Call of Cthulu: Dark Corners of the Earth, but it still never really lives up to its potential.” However the game’s launch was marred by a massive falling out between Frogwares and publisher Nacon. Frogwares accused Nacon of illegally uploading The Sinking City to Steam, using a cracked version of the game, which Nacon refuted. It was eventually settled just a couple months ago with Frogwares now having full publishing rights to the original game.
