During the Xbox Partner Preview in March 2024, Frogwares arrived with a trailer for its new game, The Sinking City 2. In a Lovecraftian horror universe, the objective is survival in this new opus. But the developers specify that funds are lacking for certain mechanics. Crowdfunding is therefore put in place to integrate the management of health and boss fights.
Beyond offering a new journey through Lovecraftian myths, The Sinking City 2 is a new adventure for Frogwares. Independent studio specializing in investigation games, this is the opportunity for them to try out a new genre. To do this, he intends to enter the world of survival horror. In the dark city of Arkham, the dependent horrors of the Great Old Ones lurk.
However, Frogwares does not have the funds to develop all their ideas. Thus, and despite a release planned for 2025, a Kickstarter will soon see the light of day. The latter is supposed to allow them to offer boss fights, an advanced mental health system and many other things. Everything will combine with the gameplay already present, and very oriented around investigations and secrets to be revealed. It remains to be seen what the studio will come up with at launch, but the idea is rather attractive.
