PS5/PS5 Pro owners can grab Frogwares’ Lovecraftian bundle—The Sinking City Remastered and Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened—for $8 on the PlayStation Store, down from $80, through May 7; it’s not PS Plus-locked and marks a new low price as The Sinking City 2 is set to release this year.
Frogwares has regained control as the sole publisher of The Sinking City on all platforms, ending a tumultuous period of legal disputes and delistings involving former publisher Nacon. However, an upcoming updated version of the game will not support old save files, though players can continue with the old version until February 28, 2024. Frogwares plans to release new DLC and will provide "prepared saves" for it. The studio had previously accused Nacon of withholding funds and royalties, and even releasing a pirated version of the game, leading to a complex legal and sales history for the Lovecraftian RPG.
Frogwares has become the sole publisher of The Sinking City across all platforms after a protracted legal dispute with the original PC publisher, Nacon. The PC version of the game will receive updates, including bug fixes and optimizations, but old saves will not be compatible. Steam users can still play the old version until February 28. The game had been previously removed from platforms due to the legal conflict, with Frogwares accusing Nacon of contract breaches and withholding royalties. The issues now appear to be resolved, and Frogwares is looking forward to the future of the franchise.
Frogwares has regained full publishing rights for their 2019 game, The Sinking City, and will be updating storefronts with the latest version of the game. This follows a legal dispute with former publisher Nacon over copyright and withheld royalties, which led to the game being pulled from various platforms. The developer will also release a new DLC named Merciful Madness, compatible only with the new version of the game. Saves from the old PC version will not be compatible with the updated game, and players are advised to complete their playthroughs before February 28, 2024.
Ukrainian video game studio Frogwares has used its platform to share information about living and working during the ongoing war in Ukraine. The Kyiv-based studio will release the detective adventure game "Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened" on April 11, which was developed entirely during the war. The game is a remake of their 2007 title and was created in just one year. The war has had an enormous influence on the developers and the game, which is partly inspired by HP Lovecraft's universe. Despite the war, Ukraine's tech industry is booming, with more than 250,000 people working in IT and tech before the Russian invasion in February 2022.
Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened, a Lovecraftian detective game, has been completely overhauled by developer Frogwares for the PS5. The game features a variety of investigation tools, including the "Mind Palace" and "Concentration" modes, and encourages players to solve cases for themselves without hints or tips. The game also includes otherworldly elements and takes players on a global journey to solve a series of disappearances linked to the Cthulhu Mythos. Overall, the game is visually spectacular and faithful to the beloved character of Sherlock Holmes.
