Frogwares announces August 2026 launch of The Sinking City 2 with New Game+ mode
Frogwares confirmed that its Lovecraft‑inspired survival‑horror sequel The Sinking City 2 will be released on 18 August 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A 12‑minute gameplay video released by the studio showcases the flooded Arkham Fish Market, where players will explore abandoned warehouses, rusted ships and confront eldritch monsters.
The developer also announced that the title will ship with a fully‑featured New Game+ mode, allowing players to carry over perks, items and points to a second playthrough. An HDR visual update is planned as a free post‑launch patch, with work already completed and expected shortly after release.
Pre‑orders are live across platforms, and a free demo has been made available ahead of the launch to give players a taste of the improved combat, inventory management and atmospheric horror that differentiate the sequel from its 2019 predecessor.
