The Sinking City 2

Released Aug 18, 2026
PlayStation 5 PC Xbox Series S/X
Action Adventure

The Sinking City 2 is a survival horror adventure from Frogwares set in a flooded, 1920s Arkham, where protagonist Calvin confronts Lovecraftian threats in the drowned city's ruins. The sequel represents a notable shift in direction for the studio, with multiple coverage pieces highlighting substantial changes from the original game.

As launch approaches, Frogwares has been steadily revealing details through extended gameplay footage and developer breakdowns. Recent previews emphasize intense horror encounters and action sequences, with the game leaning more heavily into survival horror than its predecessor. The studio has confirmed New Game+ will be available at launch alongside regional release times, file size information, and Xbox achievements tied to Lovecraftian exploration themes. Coverage suggests the 15 major mechanical and design changes position this as an ambitious departure for the developer, though the exact nature of these alterations remains partially obscured pending release.
