The Sinking City 2 Development Update
Due to the ongoing challenges related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we’ve made the decision to shift the release window for The Sinking City 2 to the first half of 2026
Hello everybody,
After a lot of discussion within the team, we’ve made the decision to shift the release window for The Sinking City 2 to the first half of 2026.
The Delay
While we hadn’t shared a specific release date, we know many of you were expecting a 2025 launch – and so were we. However, ongoing challenges related to the war in Ukraine, including frequent drone and missile attacks, incoming power outages and the need to constantly adapt to unstable conditions, have affected our development pace. Rather than rushing to meet a target that no longer makes sense, we’re taking the time needed to finish the game properly and will share a new date once we’re confident in it.
This additional time also gives us the chance to polish our first-ever survival horror experience. Shifting from decades of investigative adventure design to a genre built on tension, pacing, combat and atmosphere has been both exciting and demanding, and we want to make sure every part of it feels right when you finally play it.
We can’t thank you enough for your patience, support, and understanding. Taking this extra time ensures we can deliver the experience we’ve envisioned from the start – tense, atmospheric, and deeply unsettling in all the right ways.
New Screenshots
However, that’s not all! We wanted to offer the first sneak peek into the development of The Sinking City 2. As the game enters alpha, we’ve started polishing various aspects of the project. The screenshots below are a work in progress – and much can and will change! – but they should give you a good sense of what the game is shaping up to be.
WORK IN PROGRESS
With love,
The Frogwares Team
