The Sinking City 2 was announced at today’s Xbox Partner Preview, a horrific sequel coming from Frogwares.
“The original Sinking City is still one of our most successful titles, most likely because of stronger horror genre leanings and setting,” Frogwares’ Sergiy Oganesyan said as part of the event. “We’re going to mix things up to keep doing what people love about us – meaning story-rich experiences – while still being able to evolve.”
The sequel will focus on horror and is in development on Unreal Engine 5.
“It’s exciting but at the same time risky,” Oganesyan continued, speaking of the pivot to horror. “We’re a totally independent studio that for the past 24 years has become known for detective games. But we need to start taking bolder moves. The industry is changing around us and we want to secure the studio’s future.”
Part of the title’s development will be funded through crowdfunding, Frogwares also confirmed. Back in January of this year, the studio confirmed it had acquired the rights to the original Sinking City from Nacon.
We rather enjoyed the original, saying at the time that “The Sinking City is a mixed bag; a riveting mystery that’s far less linear than anything Frogwares has ever done.”
Expect The Sinking City 2 in 2025 on Windows PC, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, and PS5.
