The Sinking City 2 Launches August 18 as Frogwares' Lovecraftian Survival Horror Sequel

The Sinking City 2, the survival horror sequel from Ukrainian studio Frogwares, launches August 18 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with 24-hour early access on August 17 for Premium Edition buyers. It keeps the open investigation of a flooded, monster-haunted city but leans harder into horror and resource scarcity. Frogwares confirmed launch-day New Game Plus and a free HDR patch, and a one-hour demo is already on Steam.
