The Sinking City 2 world premiere: Frogwares announces sequel with gruesome trailer

It's off to Arkham again - but not in a Batman costume: Frogware's Lovecraftian The Sinking City 2 drops you off in an enchanted alternative to the 1920s in 2025.

The first part is already a real fan favourite among horror fans. In 2025, developer and publisher Frogwares is following up with The Sinking City 2 - as revealed in a first announcement trailer. You can watch the trailer here and see for yourself what the Ukrainian development studio is doing with Unreal Engine 5.

True to the motto "horror games first", Frogwares is sharpening its in-house focus and wants to devote itself entirely to horror. In the case of The Sinking City 2, this means: lots of Lovecraft themes, eerie monsters and you will be confronted with the unspeakable horrors time and time again. In the second part, you can choose to act as a clever detective in the flooded city of Arkham, without necessarily having to be an investigator. As an attentive adventurer, you will be able to unravel many secrets and uncover various bonuses in the game - but if you prefer the direct route with battles and survival, you can skip the time-consuming detours, which are guaranteed to contribute positively to the exciting narrative.

The Sinking City 2's unique features:

• Immerse yourself in a distinct atmosphere of cosmic horror and twisted designs drawn from the dark wellsprings of HP Lovecraft's macabre imagination
• Explore and survive the city of Arkham, a sprawling labyrinth of flooded alleys and decrepit mansions where eldritch horrors lurk just out of sight
• Use an arsenal of weapons to fight off Deep Ones, Mi-gos, occult zealots and other iconic monsters from the source material as well as new and unique creatures that expand the Cthulhu Mythos
• Experience the classic survival horror formula at its finest, complete with inventory management, optional puzzles and backtracking to newly unlocked areas and hidden treasures.
• Use environmental storytelling and scattered clues to solve side mysteries that unlock new outcomes and gameplay bonuses
• Thanks to Unreal Engine 5, The Sinking City 2 delivers next gen visuals with Lumen global illumination, photorealistic Nanite geometry, life-like Metahuman-powered characters and much more
