After complex legal battle, Lovecraftian detective game gets a full survival horror sequel, and its Ukrainian developer is taking to Kickstarter because of the war

The Sinking City 2.

Following a strange, lengthy legal battle over The Sinking City, Ukrainian developer Frogwares is finally following up with a sequel that's set to go full survival horror, and this time the studio is taking its project to Kickstarter because "the ongoing war adds an ominous layer of uncertainty."

The Sinking City 2 is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S in 2025, and Frogwares says it marks the start of a new direction for the studio. That's partly due to the switch to Unreal Engine 5, but it's also about a genre switch. Where Frogwares' previous games had largely been detective stories, The Sinking City 2 is expanding into the survival horror genre.
