Frogwares took advantage of the Xbox Partner Preview event to announce The Sinking City 2, sequel to the popular 2019 title that will this time bring the series into the survival horror genre, using Unreal Engine 5 as a base and scheduled for release in 2025.

The Sinking City 2 is a survival horror game set in the Lovecraftian United States of the 1920s. It takes place in the infamous town of Arkham, now plagued by a supernatural flood that has brought decay and Eldritch monsters to its streets. Here we'll battle nightmarish abominations, exploring a decaying city as rising waters change the landscape to reveal dark new mysteries. The game will offer us a standalone story, separate from that of the first title.

Game Features

• Fight to Survive: Use an arsenal of 1920s-inspired firearms and melee weapons to fight against Eldritch-inspired admonitions.
• Explore the ruined city of Arkham: a semi-open world of ruined mansions, flooded markets, and abandoned hospitals. As you progress, the flood waters will rise, changing the layout of the places when you return.
• Find and use what you can: Search for limited resources and balance a finite inventory, deciding what to bring and what to leave behind
• Choose to investigate further: Solve optional puzzles that allow you to delve deeper into your surroundings to uncover secrets, alternative options, and other information.
• A twisted Lovecraftian tale: a morally grey and compelling story set in the myth of Lovecraft, made up of cults, mutant creatures and incomprehensible gods.

Here is the announcement trailer, enjoy!
