The Sinking City 2 announced for 2025
Frogwares' sequel to its 2019 action-adventure game has been revealed.
It was just a couple months ago that Frogwares secured full publishing rights to The Sinking City, the 2019 Lovecraftian game that was the source of a lengthy legal debacle with original publisher Nacon. Now, Frogwares is ready to put that noise behind them and move on to the next chapter. The Sinking City 2 has been revealed with a 2025 release window.
The Sinking City 2 was announced during today’s Xbox Partner Preview. The reveal trailer brings us back into the peculiar universe for a fresh round of scares and mystery. The game is officially described as “a Lovecraftian survival horror set in an otherworldly rendition of Arkham in the 1920s United States.”
A 2025 release will put The Sinking City 2 six years after its predecessor. The first game was infamously pulled from digital stores in 2020 over a legal battle with Nacon. Back in January, Frogwares announced that it had secured the publishing rights to The Sinking City.
The Sinking City 2 joins a growingly stacked 2025 gaming line-up. It was also one of several new games announced during the March 2024 Xbox Partner Preview.

Also details:
“Combat and exploration are the main focus now, with the horror setting more prominent. We’re also going to be smarter with our city design, making our world smaller to keep things flowing better. We’ve been hard at work focusing on making sure our combat is now central to the game. With this then comes enemy design, to ensure there is a strong visual horror element. On top of that, we also have our level design, story, and world design all leaning a lot more toward horror, so overall it’s a much stronger push in this direction.”
“As for the detective work, it’s still there but now through a revamped system that makes it all optional. Players can now choose to investigate clues, knowing that in return they may get info that helps them progress differently. For example, engaging in some additional sleuthing may yield information on how to weaken a formidable boss or help you discover an alternate route that you had no idea about. You could, of course, progress without this knowledge, but it will be potentially easier or more engrossing to do so based on info you’ve deduced.”
“The war on our doorstep is a constant that we have to deal with every day. Thankfully, things like work and being creative actually allow us some respite or even a return to the feeling of having a ‘normal life’. We’ve adapted through the grit of our teeth and by innovating the way we work. We now know what to expect and how to deal with it, so we’re absolutely going to push on and keep creating. This is a game our entire team has been wanting to make for some time now, and we’re determined to get it done.”
