The Sinking City 2 will "pivot" to a horror focus
Ukrainian developer Frogwares has announced The Sinking City 2, for launch on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2025.
Set once again in a Lovecraftian 1920s United States, this sequel will tell a separate and standalone story from its predecessor.
But, as detailed during tonight’s Xbox Developer Direct, this entry will pivot to a “horror-first” genre focus, and also boast technical advancements from being built in Unreal Engine 5.
“The original Sinking City is still one of our most successful titles, most likely because of stronger horror genre leanings and setting,” Frogwares exec Sergiy Oganesyan said. “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.
