- The Sinking City 2 – New Extended Gameplay Trailer out now! - 29 July 2026
Time for another gameplay trailer from us. It takes place at Arkham Fish Market – a former hub of enterprise and trade, now taken over by Deep Ones from the ocean and other creatures. Seafood stalls, warehouses, and fishing equipment – all of it left forgotten by its former owners. The only sane person still living at this forsaken place is barely even human anymore. We hope you enjoy it! — Frogwares Team

Oakmont's an eerie place. As you arrive in its muddied, waterlogged streets, it's quickly apparent that this city - perhaps once a bustling portside metropolis - is under the thrall of something truly sinister. What that is? No one knows: but it's madness-inducing, violence-inciting, and its tendrils are starting to hack at the corners of your vision. This is The Sinking City , Frogwares' 1920s-set RPG , and one of my favorites ever made. Read the rest of the story...

- Classic Lovecraftian RPG The Sinking City gets full remaster, playable now - 13 May 2025
We live in a world of story-rich games. Of course there's Baldur's Gate 3, then newcomers like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and South of Midnight, with old favorites like the Dragon Age and Mass Effect series feeling like timeless classics. For me, The Sinking City is one of those iconic narrative-driven adventures, thrusting you into the bowels of Oakmont, a once-bustling metropolis that's slowly falling into the sea. Lovecraftian horrors stalk the streets, every shadow is a threat, and now it's back, ahead of its sequel, in Unreal Engine 5. Read the rest of the story...

- The Sinking City is getting a free remaster, and you can be in its sequel - 31 March 2025
There's something so alluring about H.P Lovecraft's work. Whether it's the contemporary turn-of-the-century setting, or sheer enormity of his cosmic creations, when Cthulhu calls, I can't help but listen. The Sinking City 2 and, of course, its predecessor, blend all of that eerie goodness with old-fashioned horror game mechanics and L.A. Noire-esque investigation, and it quickly cemented itself as one of my favorite indie series. Now that we've finally got a little more insight into the sequel, however, Frogwares has confirmed that the original game is getting a full remaster ahead its sister's launch, and I can't wait.

- Lovecraftian horror detective game The Sinking City's grand redemption arc continues, with a shiny new remaster coming free to all existing owners - 31 March 2025
Back in 2023, I had a blast with developer Frogwares' remake of Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened . Its blend of detective work and Lovecraftian horror felt like the studio fully in its element. I enjoy its straight Sherlock Holmes games, but increasingly they have this undercurrent of dark strangeness—particularly noticeable in most recent entry Chapter One —as if the team are straining to stop themselves slipping a tentacle and a cult sacrifice into the middle of the mystery...

- The Sinking City 2 officially announced! - 6 March 2024
Hey everyone, we are incredibly happy to officially unveil The Sinking City 2, a story-rich survival-horror game, set in Lovecraftian 1920s United States. TSC2 takes place in the infamous city of Arkham, now plagued by a supernatural flood that has brought decay and Eldritch monsters to its streets. In the Sinking City 2, you will face numerous eldritch abominations in combat, explore a rotting city as the rising waters change the landscape, and discover what dark mysteries brought you to this forsaken place. The game will feature a new, stand-alone story separate from the one told in the original game. TSC2 is also coming to Kickstarter soon. Why? To implement new features we currently don’t have the resources for: insanity mechanic, extra boss fights etc. And more importantly, because of the war. Follow the title to get notified when it launches: https://kck.st/49CIBVR TSC2 is a pivot…
