12 August 2026, Kyiv, Ukraine | Today, after 3 years of turbulent development, Frogwares is proud to say they have released The Sinking City 2 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
The Reception So Far
Currently, the game is sitting at an overall rating of 81 / "Strong" on OpenCritic, along with a 95% approval rating on Steam, and 4.95 / 5 on PSN from the first wave of publically viewable reviews.
"The game opens with a message of thanks to our supporters and then about the struggles of making the game during the war. But we end by saying, 'We believe this is the best game we have ever made,' and we are so happy to see so many critics and players agreeing with this sentiment. We took a massive risk changing genres while still trying to keep what our existing fans love about our games, but it seems to have been the right choice.-Sergiy Oganesyan, Head of Publishing, Frogwares
About The Sinking City 2
The Sinking City 2 is set in a Lovecraftian vision of 1920s America, in the infamous city of Arkham. A supernatural flood has driven out all but the most deranged residents, leaving decay and eldritch horrors that roam the streets. Step into the role of Calvin Rafferty, an occult adventurer whose cavalier actions have led to devastating consequences. After a dreaming ritual goes wrong, his girlfriend, Faye, is left trapped in a mysterious sleep. Now Calvin must navigate the drowned streets of a derelict city in a desperate attempt to bring her back. On his quest, he’ll come face-to-face with a plague of otherworldly creatures, the Slither, who possess and twist the dead into lethal, walking puppets.
