Frogwares has confirmed that The Sinking City 2 will launch on August 18 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG.
A one hour PC demo is already available, introducing players to the new protagonist, Calvin Rafferty, and the nightmare that pulls him toward the drowned city of Arkham.
A Flooded Arkham Drowning in Madness
Set in a twisted vision of 1920s America, The Sinking City 2 takes place in a version of Arkham consumed by a supernatural flood.
Most residents have fled, leaving behind only the desperate, the disturbed and the monstrous.
Eldritch horrors roam the streets, decay clings to every building and the city feels like it is slowly sinking into its own nightmares.
Calvin Rafferty’s Desperate Quest
Players step into the role of Calvin Rafferty, an occult adventurer whose reckless ritual has trapped his girlfriend, Faye, in an unnatural sleep.
To save her, Calvin must navigate the half‑submerged ruins of Arkham, uncover forbidden truths and confront the consequences of his own actions.
His journey is haunted by the Slither, parasitic entities that possess corpses and twist them into lethal puppets.
Every encounter becomes a fight for survival against creatures that should not exist.
A New Hero in a Reimagined Horror World
The demo offers a first look at:
- Calvin’s backstory
- The flooded open world
- Early encounters with eldritch creatures
- The tone and atmosphere shaping this new chapter
Frogwares is leaning deeper into survival horror, emphasizing tension, scarcity and the psychological unraveling of its protagonist.
A City of Secrets Beneath the Waterline
Arkham is more than a backdrop.
It is a labyrinth of drowned streets, abandoned homes and occult remnants waiting to be uncovered.
Every corner hides clues about the flood, the Slither and the ritual that changed Calvin’s life forever.
The Sinking City 2 aims to deliver a darker, more personal story while expanding the cosmic horror that defines the series.
