Frogwares' Arkham Shifts to Survival Horror in The Sinking City 2
The Sinking City 2 launches on August 18, 2026, marking a significant pivot for Frogwares from the open-world detective roots of the 2019 original to a tighter, combat-focused survival horror experience. Set in the flooded 1920s city of Arkham, the game follows paranormal investigator Calvin Rafferty as he attempts to rescue his comatose lover from the Dreamlands. While the studio retains its investigative heritage, it now frames puzzles as optional rewards rather than mandatory gates, prioritizing resource management and tense encounters with Lovecraftian monsters. The release highlights the resilience of the Ukrainian developer, who continued production amid wartime conditions.
